APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Friday January 22, 2010 (MJD 55219) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Howard Brewington Alaina Shelden ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- SNOW REMOVAL! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- Night lost to snow and wind. Did some snow removal at the beginning of the night, but have not done any more since then. Snow still falling when we left in the morning. Sos was having issues, seems stuck or very very slow. Paul worked on platedb, still has some work to do. 5B still doesn't work, but all pointings have the correct default guide fibers. The issue with Cart 3 becoming inactive has not been adressed yet. Web interface should match showActive always with Paul fixes. Spectro chiller and motor chiller pressures are at 0. Motor chiller looks like it's off completely. When telescope was checked out at the beginning of the night, all was normal. All guages were where they are supposed to be. There was a small pubble underneath the telescope, appeared to be water and was entirely contained on the lift. When checked this morning, the puddle was found to be glycol and was HUGE, and the two guages mentioned above were at 0. We suspect the motor chiller is connected to the generator turning on. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternnoon: ----------- Five hours of the afternoon was spent removing snow from walks and decks. 00:01Z Started Afternoon checdkout; did not restart watcher server. 00:02Z Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda3 142G 128G 7.0G 95% / /dev/sda1 99M 30M 64M 33% /boot /dev/sdb1 917G 854G 17G 99% /data hub25mp:/home 92G 85G 7.3G 93% /home_hub25m sdssfiles1p:/data1/data 1.8T 89G 1.8T 5% /files 00:06Z Verified that the STUI actors were happy; also checked the status of the hub25m and perms. 00:18Z Spectro focus was checked and slightly adjusted to exercise/test collimate motors. It's set for about 0-degree C, and the collimate numbers are posted in the Problem Section. Night: ------- 02:02Z Telescope was checked out and is completely happy. Movement in Azimuth was not checked--doghouse is trapped between dewars and snow drifts inside the enclosure. 04:02Z Paul played around with platedb showActive. Cart 16 is not listed in STUI but is on web page. 04:36Z Sos appears to be backed up again, none of our cals or collimation exposures have shown up yet. 10:14Z Power flickered off for a few seconds, generator turned on but we're still on utility power. 10:19Z Power went off again, for longer than before. Took the generator a minute or two to take over. 11:40Z Still snowing, still on generator power, and shutting down for night. 12:07Z endNight finished, and there was much rejoicing. Yay. ---=== 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 ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE I ===--- Time Instrument Az Alt Rot Scale pos offset pos offset pos offset ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE II ===--- ---=== FOCUS LOG ===--- setmir piston Temp Wind Time Inst scale M1 M2 Foc Az Alt (C) MPH Dir filt fwhm ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 21:43Z unknown 1.00000 0 1257 0 121 30.1 -3.7 15 272 ---=== WEATHER LOG ===--- Wind Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust DIMM Sky 21:29Z 24 23 21 269 (W) 89 - snow 22:03Z 25 24 22 267 (W) 55 - 22:37Z 25 24 20 254 (WSW) 86 - 23:10Z 25 24 22 267 (W) 45 - 23:41Z 25 24 20 267 (W) 58 - 00:15Z 24 22 24 268 (W) 41 - 00:45Z 24 21 20 267 (W) 17 - 01:15Z 23 21 21 268 (W) 61 - 01:49Z 23 21 23 267 (W) 71 - snow/wind 02:23Z 22 20 17 269 (W) 104 - 02:54Z 21 19 17 270 (W) 127 - 03:24Z 22 19 19 269 (W) 128 - 03:54Z 22 20 17 263 (W) 179 - 04:28Z 22 19 15 268 (W) 174 - 05:02Z 22 20 18 279 (W) 227 - 05:35Z 22 20 18 287 (WNW) 236 - 06:09Z 22 20 18 285 (WNW) 79 - 06:44Z 23 20 21 265 (W) 278 - 07:14Z 23 21 18 268 (W) 113 - 07:44Z 23 21 17 266 (W) 60 - 08:18Z 23 21 15 253 (WSW) 47 - 08:52Z 23 21 15 228 (SW) 299 - 09:22Z 24 21 12 278 (W) 57 - 09:52Z 24 21 15 254 (WSW) 208 - 10:23Z 24 21 16 233 (SW) 693 - 10:53Z 24 21 20 202 (SSW) 137 - 11:27Z 24 21 19 207 (SSW) 313 - snow 12:01Z 25 21 16 241 (WSW) 737 - ---=== TELESCOPE STATUS ===--- Did not open due to snow No interlocks bypassed.
