APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Thursday March 25, 2010 (MJD 55281) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Observers: ---------- Kaike Pan Howard Brewington ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- MARVELS Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- We lost more than an hour (one plate) because we had trouble finding guide stars for several fields. Slewing to an FK5 would have been very helpful. Should we re-open ticket #176? Observed: ---------- Cart 04, plate 3089, pointing A Cart 01, plate 3799, pointing A Cart 01, plate 3799, pointing B (fibers 85/86 are very weak) Cart 05, plate 3892, pointing A Cart 05, plate 3892, pointing B Cart 06, plate 3895, pointing A (could not find the field) Cart 09, plate 3796, pointing B (fibers 57/58 are very weak) Cart 07, plate 3903, pointing B Cart 07, plate 3902, poingint A High dust during the last part of the night; the mirrors probably need to be checked. We had to run endNight manually. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: ---------- 23:29Z Started the checkout 23:30Z Restarrted servers 23:45Z Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda3 142G 129G 6.4G 96% / /dev/sda1 99M 30M 64M 33% /boot /dev/sdb1 917G 841G 30G 97% /data sdssfiles1p:/data1/data 1.8T 105G 1.7T 6% /files 23:45Z Started MARVELS ThAr lamp. 23:50Z Opened Doors and started fans.

Seeing was about 1.25" as reported by the DIMM. 05:56:13Z We made a scale adjustment error by asking for a move of -0.1, which gave us an PrimDesMount and SecDesMount out-of-range replay and confused the system. Conseqeuntly, we could not make any scale changes from the stuiLog window beyound this mistake. So, we used the TCC window to set the scale back to 1.0, and now the scale worked from the stuiLog window again. T05:07:40.680 0 11. 42231. 4797. TIO NULL T05:09:47.140 0 160. 367. 764.
