APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Monday April 30, 2007 (MJD 54221) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Howard Brewington (2.5-m observer) Peng Cheng Guo (UF) Brian Lee (UF) ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- ET Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- Clouds and radar returns delayed opening for about an hour after sunset. I had a SOP session problem during the first cartridge; see log. I also had a SOP error message during setup; see Problems Section. Completed the ET science program, i.e., eight carts and nine exposures. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: ------------ The afternoon checkout was uneventful. I did, however, see some evidence of mice infestation in the northwest ceiling of the lower enclosures near the telescope's pier. Night: ------------ 01:35Z Doors and louver opened, fans on 01:40Z Mounted Cart 03 should weather conditions improve. 01:41Z Sunset 02:08Z A sucker hole formed over the site, yet we had radar returns to the north, south, east, and west. From the 2.5-meter platform, I could see low clouds and virga to the south, southwest, and west. 02:36Z Enclosure off as clouds became less of a problem. 02:55Z Cart 03, plate 8024 (ET science). And Fk5 was used to find the field. We completed one 50-min data exposure and started a 50-minute template. About 20-minutes into the template, the SOP session stopped responding and the guider stopped updating. We decided to let the exposure finish since there was only a slight drop in the flux. I kill the SOP session and started another one. A calib exposure was also done on this plate. 03:13Z Evening twilight ended. 04:50Z Cart 05, plate 8025 (ET science). Completed one 50-minute data exposure. 06:00Z Cart 01, plate 8026 (ET science). Completed one 50-minute data exposure and one calib exposure. 07:10Z Cart 08, plate 8021 (ET science). An Fk 5 was used to find the field. Completed one 50-minute data exposure. 08:10Z Cart 07, plate 8022 (ET science). Completed one 50-minute data exposure. 09:16Z Cart 06, plate 8027 (ET science). An Fk 5 was used to find the field. Completed one 50-minute data exposure. 10:15Z Cart 09, plate 8028 (ET science). After slewing to th field, we had to put in an E-stop and make an adjustment to the ET fibers. Completed one 50-minute data exposure. 10:50Z Morning twilight endNight finished and was happy Misc Watcher Messages are posted in the Problems Section. ---=== IMAGING RUN SUMMARY ===--- Run Time Stripe Lambda Last Flavor Comments Start End Begin End Frame ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---=== IMAGING RUN DETAILS ===--- ---=== SKIPPY RESULTS ===--- Run Frame nFrames stars muErr muRms nuErr nuRms rot az el --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---=== LTMATCH RESULTS ===--- Run Field nFields alt az nGood rowMean rowSig colMean colSig rot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---=== SPECTROSCOPY DATA SUMMARY ===--- Summary Checked (y/n): QA Procedures Done (y/n): UT Exp Time flavor comment (S/N)^2 totals ========================================== b1 r1 b2 r2 ----- sequence 44568, plate -9999 ------- 21:57 44568 0.0 bias 22:00 44569 0.0 bias ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE I ===--- Time Instrument Az Alt Rot Scale pos offset pos offset pos offset ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 05:36Z 5 8025 -37.13 -0.0014 54.36 0.0016 149.41 0.0000 1.000040 06:06Z 1 8026 181.86 -0.0014 69.10 0.0016 2.57 0.0000 1.000140 07:30Z 8 8021 71.24 0.0020 76.85 0.0048 244.03 0.0227 1.000110 08:18Z 7 8022 127.45 0.0104 80.12 0.0056 -58.48 0.0140 1.000200 09:24Z 6 8027 124.21 0.0049 65.78 0.0037 -73.35 -0.0023 1.000100 10:21Z 9 8028 138.92 0.0030 72.12 0.0047 -51.73 0.0139 1.000060 ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE II ===--- ---=== FOCUS LOG ===--- setmir piston Temp Wind Time Inst scale M1 M2 Foc Az Alt (C) MPH Dir filt fwhm ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 05:36Z 5 8025 1.00004 -395 766 -75 -37 54.4 10.6 9 306 gdr 1.5 06:06Z 1 8026 1.00014 -1383 -137 -125 182 69.1 10.8 8 284 gdr 1.3 07:30Z 8 8021 1.00011 -1086 188 -35 71 76.8 10.4 10 359 gdr 1.5 08:18Z 7 8022 1.00020 -1975 -531 -15 127 80.1 10.3 14 330 gdr 1.3 09:23Z 6 8027 1.00010 -988 277 -45 124 65.7 10.5 8 359 gdr 1.4 10:21Z 9 8028 1.00006 -593 592 -45 139 72.1 11.0 7 355 gdr 1.5 ---=== WEATHER LOG ===--- Wind Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust DIMM Sky 20:51Z 52 37 8 327 (NNW) 937 - 21:22Z 53 37 0 154 (SSE) 896 - 21:54Z 54 37 6 345 (NNW) 895 - 22:26Z 60 41 12 266 (W) 882 - 22:58Z 56 38 14 269 (W) 845 - 23:31Z 54 39 8 265 (W) 841 - 00:03Z 52 38 8 264 (W) 829 - 00:35Z 52 39 9 260 (W) 893 - 01:05Z 48 39 4 273 (W) 1051 - 01:35Z 47 34 10 280 (W) 656 - 02:05Z 48 33 10 268 (W) 405 - 02:35Z 49 27 12 285 (WNW) 452 - 03:05Z 48 31 10 324 (NW) 466 - 03:36Z 50 30 9 302 (WNW) 545 - 04:06Z 50 33 6 268 (W) 840 - 04:36Z 50 32 12 311 (NW) 830 - 05:06Z 50 32 6 275 (W) 826 - 05:36Z 51 32 9 305 (NW) 843 - 06:06Z 51 31 7 284 (WNW) 933 - 06:36Z 51 32 7 294 (WNW) 913 - 07:07Z 49 32 7 351 (NNW) 874 - 07:37Z 51 32 6 344 (NNW) 808 - 08:07Z 50 33 5 19 (NNE) 929 - 08:39Z 51 33 10 318 (NW) 961 - 09:09Z 51 32 10 348 (NNW) 1034 - 09:40Z 50 33 6 356 (NNW) 985 - 10:10Z 51 32 3 11 (N) 1016 - 10:41Z 51 32 7 14 (NNE) 1075 - 11:12Z 51 30 4 359 (NNW) 1054 - ---=== TELESCOPE STATUS ===--- 01:35Z Doors and louvers open, fans on. 02:36Z Enclosure off. 11:20Z Enclosure on, doors and louvers closed, fans off.
