APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Friday October 20, 2006 (MJD 54029) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Swing: Viktor Malanushenko Observer: Stephanie Snedden and Elena Malanushenko ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- It was photometric night with good seeing. Imaged Supernova stripe 82 S from lambda +111 to -152 and from lambda -155.5 to -122 (including ramps). There are 2 runs because we stopped to do 72 N. Imaged 72 N from lambda -148 to -123 (including ramps) and we think that this stripe is done successully. The cloud camera artifact is still appears. Information about 72 N imaging did not appear in the log, so we wrote it by hand. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: ---------- Telescope has been checked. All systems work fine. Spectro Collimation has been done and focusing on expected night temp.= +4.0 C. The PT has been checked. It works good; Biases and Dom Flats have been obtained. Time exposure on SpectroCollimation has been equal 3 sec. 23:30Z Enclosure doors opened, fans and blowers on, louvers opened. Night: ------ It is clear tonight, We think, photometric. Cloud camera shows plateau about 10 instead previously established photometric level value 6. 0:55 We mounted the imager, closed the building and did bias. Run= 6473. The bias looks fine. 01:15 The enclosure is off. 01:40 Run 6474, Supernova stripe, 82 N. Start Lambda=115. We are in focus by frame 27. Skippy is good from the beginning. Seeing is good, around 1.0. Start lambda=111 to make rump. Science starts from lambda=115 (frame 32). 1-429 frames - good seeing (1-1.3") 429 - 569 frames- acceptable (more then 1.5); 570 - 650 - good seeing. We ended the drift at 08:10, lambda=-152.5 (frame 650) to do Segue 72 N imaging. 8:12Z. Run 6475. Segue 72 N. Start lambda 148. Focus and skippy are good from the beginning. Seeing is good (1.0-1.4"). 8:28Z Frame 33, lambda=-144 start science. 9:40Z Frame 152, lambda -127 -- end science. The drift is completed at frame 169, lambda -123.5. The information about this run did not appear in the log, so we wrote it by hand. Return to observations of Supernova. 9:50 Run 6476. Stripe 82, N. Start lambda is -155.5. We tried to avoid the gap between this and previous Supernova stripes. The skippy and focus are good from the beginning. Seeing is good during the whole stripe (1.2 - 1.4). Frame 210 5:53Z Lambda =-125 - point of end of science. End of drift at 12:03 with frame 225, lambda -122.7. The twilight is started at 11:50, so we did last 3 min of science and ramp during the twilight. 10:25 Cloud camera shows us the same horizontal band in upper part of image. endNight is completed. ---=== IMAGING RUN SUMMARY ===--- Run Time Stripe Lambda Last Flavor Comments Start End Begin End Frame ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6472 21:46Z 22:11Z 100 O 64.92 71.12 56 ignore 6473 00:55Z 01:11Z 100 O 112.24 116.21 41 bias 6474 01:45Z 08:10Z 82 N 111.36 -152.24 658 science 6475 08:13Z 09:49Z 72 N 148.36 -123.5 169 science 6476 09:52Z 12:03Z 82 N -155.33 -122.45 233 science ---=== IMAGING RUN DETAILS ===--- ---=== SKIPPY RESULTS ===--- Run Frame nFrames stars muErr muRms nuErr nuRms rot az el --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6474 32 4 20 -2.000 1.162 -4.200 1.296 -0.03394 204 55 6474 84 4 75 -3.700 0.116 -6.500 0.113 -0.00493 204 55 6474 135 4 119 -3.300 0.118 -5.500 0.116 -0.00464 204 55 6474 185 4 76 -3.400 0.114 -5.600 0.116 -0.00438 204 55 6474 238 4 56 -3.400 0.116 -5.100 0.122 -0.00479 204 55 6474 288 4 69 -3.000 0.110 -4.600 0.126 -0.00443 204 55 6474 339 4 54 -2.500 0.125 -4.100 0.125 -0.00424 204 55 6474 391 4 44 -3.200 0.104 -4.500 0.119 -0.00414 204 55 6474 441 4 40 -2.700 0.207 -4.500 0.166 -0.00382 204 55 6474 492 4 51 -3.000 0.137 -4.900 0.162 -0.00366 204 55 6474 544 4 36 -2.500 0.125 -4.500 0.103 -0.00369 204 55 6474 595 4 34 -2.600 0.098 -5.100 0.110 -0.00440 204 55 6474 645 4 56 -2.900 0.123 -5.300 0.139 -0.00461 204 55 6475 15 4 62 -2.100 0.153 -6.800 0.631 0.02508 209 76 6475 65 4 61 -1.000 0.144 -6.300 0.152 0.02147 205 75 6475 118 4 43 -0.500 0.115 -6.200 0.131 0.01771 202 72 6475 166 4 30 -0.200 0.137 -6.200 0.083 0.01369 201 70 6476 19 4 39 -1.600 0.110 -5.200 0.133 -0.01947 239 39 6476 70 4 40 -1.800 0.085 -5.800 0.126 -0.01886 239 39 6476 121 4 46 -1.900 0.541 -5.800 0.602 -0.02024 239 39 6476 172 4 39 -1.700 0.113 -6.200 0.113 -0.01879 239 39 6476 221 4 53 -1.200 0.113 -6.300 0.121 -0.01881 239 39 ---=== LTMATCH RESULTS ===--- Run Field nFields alt az nGood rowMean rowSig colMean colSig rot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---=== SPECTROSCOPY DATA SUMMARY ===--- Summary Checked (y/n): no QA Procedures Done (y/n): UT Exp Time flavor comment =============================================== ----- sequence 41123, plate 2441 ------- 21:30Z 41123 0.0 bias {{}} 21:53Z 41124 10.0 flat post-flat 21:55Z 41125 2.0 arc post-arc 22:14Z 41126 3.0 arc {{focus, hartmann l}} 22:16Z 41127 3.0 arc {{focus, hartmann r}} ----- sequence 41128, plate -9999 ------- 22:31Z 41128 0.0 bias {{}} 00:28Z 41129 0.0 bias {{}} ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE I ===--- Time Instrument Az Alt Rot Scale pos offset pos offset pos offset ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 03:08Z imager -24.11 0.0000 54.94 0.0000 69.73 0.0000 1.000000 04:11Z imager -24.11 0.0000 54.95 0.0000 69.73 0.0000 1.000000 05:08Z imager -24.10 0.0000 54.95 0.0000 69.75 0.0000 1.000000 06:17Z imager -24.10 0.0000 54.95 0.0000 69.76 0.0000 1.000000 07:00Z imager -24.09 0.0000 54.95 0.0000 69.77 0.0000 1.000000 08:04Z imager -24.09 0.0000 54.95 0.0000 69.79 0.0000 1.000000 09:40Z imager -20.90 0.0000 70.58 0.0000 92.51 0.0000 1.000000 10:25Z imager -59.36 0.0000 38.60 0.0000 43.54 0.0000 1.000000 ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE II ===--- ---=== DATA TAPE SUMMARY ===--- Goes: JL Stays: JL ---=== FOCUS LOG ===--- setmir piston Temp Wind Time Inst scale M1 M2 Foc Az Alt (C) MPH Dir filt fwhm ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 03:08Z imager 1.00000 0 -284 -184 -24 54.9 7.3 8 269 23 0.8 04:11Z imager 1.00000 0 -246 -146 -24 54.9 6.2 7 267 23 0.87 05:08Z imager 1.00000 0 -315 -216 -24 55.0 7.2 10 268 23 1.11 06:17Z imager 1.00000 0 -339 -240 -24 55.0 6.7 12 297 23 1.65 06:59Z imager 1.00000 0 -347 -248 -24 55.0 7.0 15 298 23 1.39 08:05Z imager 1.00000 0 -354 -255 -24 55.0 6.6 11 318 23 1.15 09:40Z imager 1.00000 0 -363 -229 -21 70.6 6.2 11 349 23 1.26 10:24Z imager 1.00000 0 -239 -196 -59 38.6 5.8 12 335 23 1.25 ---=== WEATHER LOG ===--- Wind Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust DIMM Sky 19:56Z 47 18 13 302 (WNW) 152 -
