APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Wednesday May 20, 2009 (MJD 54972) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Steph Snedden Howard Brewington ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- SEGUE2 Science ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- The night was lost to clouds and a very small amount of rain. We did the MARVELS monthly cals. We also completed the very-sparse-plugged plate tests. The spectro dewar is getting low. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: ---------- 22:50Z Did setup with ARCSAT and notified the observers. 23:00Z Started the afternoon checkout 23:15Z Spectro focus was left unchanged, and looks good for predicted temps tonight. 23:20Z Here is the disk space status /dev/sdb1 917G 754G 117G 87% /data sdssfiles1p:/data1/data 1.5T 609G 784G 44% /files 23:25Z Completed the apo_plotbias; results posted in Prob Section. 23:40Z Start the telescope checkout. 23:45Z Restarted the servers. 00:10Z Afternoon checkout completed. 01:56Z Sunset with clouds; we waited. Night: ------ 03:00Z We started the MARVELS monthly cals. 03:32Z Evening twilight 07:45Z Weather conditions had not improved; sky was very cloudy. 07:46Z We started sparse-plugged plate, viz,. Cart 06, plate 3429. 08:08Z We finished the MARVELS cals.
