APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Tuesday October 9, 2007 (MJD 54383) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Audrey Simmons (swing) Elena Malanushenko (observer) Viktor Malanushenko (observer) ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- SEGUE & Supernova Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- Clear on sunset, then high variable humidity and clouds. We opened and closed enclosure three times because high humidity. We obtained acceptable S/N on the cart.2 plate 2190 (only one exposure) We observed SN 82,N stripe and had been two runs: run 7043, lam. from 119 to 177, incliding the ramps run 7045, lam. from -170 to -154, including the ramps with clouds. run 7044 - bias on telescope The runs 7041 and 7042 has been losted by the reason of software problems. See more details in 'log' and 'problems' sections. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: ---------- Disk space was again running a little low, so I ran 'byebye' on MJD's 54376-77. Spectro Collimtion set for 10C (see problem section for details). Note that the PT exposure sequencing got out of sync again. Would someone please take a look at this? Thanks. 00:01Z - Started ventilation with doors and louvers open, fans on. Night: ------ Cartridge 2 Plate 2190, sequefaint118 01:10Z gotoField, FK5 used. 01:40Z preCalibs b1 r1 b2 r2 01:48Z 1st exp. 900 sec., TOTAL S/N : 5.5 4.6 6.1 4.2 Observations has been stopped because of high humidity. Rick requested 82N stripe tonight. 02:53Z Imager is mounted inside enclosure. 03:15Z Humidity began to drop, and we started ventillations and opened the enclosure again. Run 7041, SN stripe 82,N 03:23Z goDrift at lambda 110. Skipy is happy from frame 13. 03:32Z Ramp lambda =113, frame 25 Watcher complained that ad1 stopped to response and the ad1 terminal stopped to work. We ended the drift and rebooted the ad crate. 03:37Z endDrift fr.33 3:44Z Run 7042, SN 82,N. Start lambda 115. After we started the new drift, we lost the connection with server for all our programs, and we stopped the drift and rebooted the server. endDrift, rebooted the server and reconnected with other programs. Run 7043, goDrift, SN 82,N 03:51Z, start lambda 117. Skippy was happy from frame 20 Ramp start at lambda 119, frame 21 In focus from frame 26. Science start at lambda 121, frame 34. The seeing was 1.3-1.7" during the run. Some clouds came around frame 150. 05:33 endDrift because the humidity is rised up to 85% and the difference dropped to 2.5C. endDrift at lambda 142, frame 177. 05:40Z The enclosure is on again. 05:51Z imager bias, run 7044, frames 39. Humidity dropped up to 77% and the difference increased up to 4C min for last 15 min. We started ventillation but wait for weather improving because of clouds, nearby radar return, and humidity variantion up to our limit. 08:30Z enclosure has been opened 08:35Z Run 7045, goDrift, lam.=-172, throught the clouds... Difference to Dewpoint is stabilized at 3.6 C. skippy was happy at the beginning. focus was happy fr.=14 08:42Z start ramp, fr.18, lam=-170. seeing = 1.3" 09:45Z endDrift, fr.123 lam=-154. endNoght end happy. ---=== IMAGING RUN SUMMARY ===--- Run Time Stripe Lambda Last Flavor Comments Start End Begin End Frame ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7040 22:47Z 23:05Z 100 O 69.23 73.63 43 ignore 7041 03:22Z 03:38Z 82 N 110.35 114.33 41 science 7042 03:44Z 03:47Z 82 N 115.50 116.26 19 science 7043 03:50Z 05:34Z 82 N 116.96 142.90 187 science 7044 05:51Z 06:10Z 100 O -184.52 -179.91 45 bias 7045 08:35Z 09:45Z 82 N -171.70 -154.02 132 science ---=== IMAGING RUN DETAILS ===--- ---=== SKIPPY RESULTS ===--- Run Frame nFrames stars muErr muRms nuErr nuRms rot az el --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7041 15 4 6 -5.300 2.211 447.400 1.469 3.55236 224 48 7042 8 4 0 0.000 0.000 0.000 0.000 -0.00000 0 0 7043 15 4 8 5.300 1.584 8.100 1.321 -0.18012 225 48 7043 84 4 106 -6.800 0.099 -2.700 0.110 -0.00718 225 48 7043 136 4 89 -7.000 0.133 -2.800 0.135 -0.00743 225 48 7045 16 4 46 -6.000 0.584 -3.500 0.660 -0.00647 225 48 7045 69 4 50 -6.400 0.107 -3.700 0.115 -0.00748 225 48 7045 119 4 53 -6.500 0.098 -4.100 0.146 -0.00745 225 48 ---=== LTMATCH RESULTS ===--- Run Field nFields alt az nGood rowMean rowSig colMean colSig rot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 7043 25 1 48 315 74 0.070 0.198 0.765 0.190 -0.00257 7043 25 1 48 315 75 0.076 0.165 1.059 0.294 -0.00356 7043 25 1 48 315 80 0.282 0.213 1.330 0.213 -0.00447 7043 25 1 48 315 70 0.105 0.099 1.381 0.247 -0.00464 7043 25 1 48 315 66 0.053 0.176 1.388 0.296 -0.00467 7043 43 1 48 315 62 -0.170 0.186 0.463 0.235 -0.00156 7043 43 1 48 315 69 -0.367 0.207 0.735 0.338 -0.00247 7043 43 1 48 315 78 -0.233 0.218 0.868 0.265 -0.00292 7043 43 1 48 315 72 -0.266 0.150 1.133 0.249 -0.00381 7043 43 1 48 315 63 -0.201 0.178 1.221 0.438 -0.00411 7043 94 1 48 315 62 0.207 0.194 0.215 0.213 -0.00072 7043 94 1 48 315 62 0.127 0.197 0.356 0.133 -0.00120 7043 94 1 48 315 52 0.145 0.230 0.421 0.260 -0.00142 7043 94 1 48 315 41 0.182 0.248 0.469 0.271 -0.00158 7043 94 1 48 315 52 0.196 0.284 0.712 0.197 -0.00239 7043 111 1 48 315 48 -0.266 0.150 0.878 0.319 -0.00295 7043 111 1 48 315 55 -0.308 0.124 1.204 0.324 -0.00405 7043 111 1 48 315 43 -0.155 0.132 1.225 0.221 -0.00412 7043 111 1 48 315 39 -0.318 0.217 1.006 0.244 -0.00338 7043 111 1 48 315 39 -0.287 0.251 1.052 0.222 -0.00354 7043 147 1 48 315 70 0.540 0.259 0.354 0.389 -0.00119 7043 147 1 48 315 35 0.542 0.237 0.709 0.407 -0.00238 7043 147 1 48 315 25 0.457 0.272 1.071 0.257 -0.00360 7043 147 1 48 315 31 0.456 0.228 0.912 0.340 -0.00307 7043 147 1 48 315 27 0.408 0.146 0.602 0.214 -0.00202 7043 164 1 48 315 14 -0.080 0.283 0.637 0.350 -0.00214 7043 164 1 48 315 33 -0.170 0.271 0.768 0.487 -0.00258 7043 164 1 48 315 28 -0.128 0.329 0.908 0.501 -0.00305 7043 164 1 48 315 29 -0.228 0.309 1.279 0.485 -0.00430 7043 164 1 48 315 19 -0.350 0.307 1.078 0.553 -0.00362 ---=== SPECTROSCOPY DATA SUMMARY ===--- Summary Checked (y/n): Yes QA Procedures Done (y/n): Yes UT Exp Time flavor comment (S/N)^2 totals ========================================== b1 r1 b2 r2 ----- sequence 46640, plate 2190 ------- 22:51 46640 0.0 bias 22:58 46641 10.0 flat 23:01 46642 2.0 arc 23:05 46643 3.0 arc 23:08 46644 3.0 arc 23:28 46645 3.0 arc 23:30 46646 3.0 arc ----- sequence 46647, plate -9999 ------- 23:55 46647 0.0 bias 00:12 46648 0.0 bias ----- sequence 46649, plate 2190 ------- 01:43 46649 10.0 flat 01:45 46650 2.0 arc 02:06 46651 901.0 target 5.5 4.6 6.1 4.2 ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE I ===--- Time Instrument Az Alt Rot Scale pos offset pos offset pos offset ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 01:50Z 2 2190 176.21 0.0042 46.26 0.0009 -13.56 0.0318 1.000110 ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE II ===--- ---=== FOCUS LOG ===--- setmir piston Temp Wind Time Inst scale M1 M2 Foc Az Alt (C) MPH Dir filt fwhm ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 01:50Z 2 2190 1.00011 -1086 194 -100 176 46.3 10.0 16 121 --- 2.0" ---=== WEATHER LOG ===--- Wind Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust DIMM Sky 22:41Z 59 44 10 227 (SW) 800 -
