APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Tuesday February 16, 2010 (MJD 55244) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Elena Malanushenko Audrey Simmons Kaike Pan (afternoon) Support: Steph Snedden Jon Brinkmann Paul Harding Demitri Muni French Leger ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- BOSS Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- Crystal clear night, with excellent seeing. Observed: Cart 10, plate 3650 - DONE Cart 13, plate 3657 - DONE Cart 12, plate 3682 - DONE Cart 17, plate 3782 - DONE Cart 16, plate 3774 - DONE Cart 11, plate 3879 - DONE We had trouble getting the cartridges out of the middle rack of the scissor lift. French fixed the problem with the lift, but there is still something wrong with the manipulator arm. The day crew will investigate it tomorrow. New test version of guider v1_0_19 worked fine. Spectro dewer needs to be replaced soon. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: ---------- Paul installed the trunk version of guider and declared it as V1_0_19. Demitri worked on platedb web interface. All Actors, systems, and the telescope were checked. The BOSS spectra collimation was checked with cartridge 10. We had a minor problem on where collimator actuators actually are. when we moved pistons with command "boss moveColl" after the first set hartmann, position of actuator B (for SP2) was 60 steps off from its desination while A and C were only 2 or 3 steps off based on STUI display. We did a "boss mechStatus", these numbers did not change. Then we issued a command to move the B actuator by 60 steps. After the movement, STUI showed the B actuator was moved by 120 steps. At this point, we were confused: which number was correct? How accurate these numbers are (we thought they are good to ~ 10 steps)? How reliable a movement from command "boss moveColl"? Can a movement be off by 60 steps? Anyway, we issued another command to move B actuator back by -60 steps. This time, STUI display and command movement was consistat with 2 steps. 23:30Z started ventilation. Night: ------ 01:00Z - Opened enclosure to crystal clear skies. Force filled spectrographs. 01:20Z - gotoField cart 10, BOSS plate 3650. 01:24Z - Took several sets of hartmanns, testing 108579-82. GSFOGTF. 01:42Z - Cals 108583-84. Attempted to start exposure, but sop did not respond. We issued a sop restart, tried again, and then the exposure started. 02:04Z - 15 min exposure. Seeing 1.5" 02:22Z - 15 min exposure. 02:41Z - Cals 108587-88. We finished this plate.
