APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Tuesday May 12, 2009 (MJD 54964) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Alaina Shelden Audrey Simmons ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- SEGUE and MARVELS ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- Observed the following plates in photmetric conditions: Cart 4, SEGUE plate 3328 (DONE) Cart 2, SEGUE plate 3404 Cart 6, MARVELS plate 3487 A&B Cart 9, MARVELS plate 3410 A Cart 7, MAVRELS plate 3489 B Cart 1, MARVELS pre-selection plate 3493 Notes: No broken fibers found. We skipped cart 7, plate 3489A since we were behind schedule. There was only a TIO-THAR calibration sequence taken in between the exposures of A and B of cart 6, plate 3487 Our pointing is definitly getting worse as we reach higher temperatures at night, but we still might be able to hold off on a pointing model a few more nights, until it is cloudy. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: ---------- Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda3 142G 118G 18G 88% / /dev/sda1 99M 30M 64M 33% /boot /dev/sdb1 917G 740G 131G 85% /data sdssfiles1p:/data1/data 1.5T 607G 786G 44% /files Afternoon checkout went smoothly. No problems. Checked the collimators, but did not change them. They are set for ~14C. 01:05Z - Began ventilation. Night: ------ 01:50Z - Opened enclosure to clear skies. 01:52Z - Sunset. ** 02:17Z - goToField cart 4, SEGUE plate 3328. Used fk5 with spiralPattern to find the field. 02:54Z - Precals. 03:06Z - 30 min exposure. Seeing 1.2" 03:24Z - Evening twilight (18) 03:39Z - 30 min exposure. 04:13Z - Postcals. This plate is finished.

We could not find the field be means of previous offsets, nor with an fk5 and spiralPattern. Steph helped us by referring to last night's log and compared the offsets of a plate close by. We found the field that way. 05:01Z - Precals. 05:08Z - 15 min exposure. Seeing 1.2" This plate is not finshed yet.
