APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Tuesday May 25, 2010 (MJD 55342) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Viktor M Kaike Pan Craig Loomis (for sop and guider tests) Paul Harding (for guider test) ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Engineering + MARVELS Science ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- Craig and Paul worked on sop and guider actors during the first 3 hours. Then we observed 4 marvels plates under clear sky and good seeing. cart 4, plate 3899A, field Kepler4. No broken fibers. cart 4, plate 3899B. K5. Broken fibers: 31/32. cart 7, plate 3903A. K4. No broken fibers. cart 5, plate 3895B. K15. Possible broken bibers: 31/32. Afternoon --------- 00:15Z ThAr ON 00:35Z opened doors, louvers, fans on, started ventillations on telescope all checked. Afternoon checkout went smoothly, no problem to report. Started a process to compress 60 nights data in /data/mvptpm on sdsshost2. Night: ------ 01:50Z enclosure off. 02:05Z hand the telescope to Craig for tests. 03:30Z Craig finished his tests. Paul needs a little more time to prepare fo his tests. We mounted cartridge 6 and do marvels. We spent 20 minutes in hunting for stars, saw stars drifting by different guiding fibers, but they were just coincidence. We checked everything we can think of, nothing was obviously wrong. The field was low, alt at 45 degree. We did not find the field by the time Paul was ready for his test. So we mounted cartridge 17 for guider test. 04:05Z: mounted cart 17, plate 3987 (with only guiding fiber plugged). Stars in fibers, mostly centered. According to Paul, adjusting offset of fiber 12 improved guiding rms: 0.05 to 0.01. On this cartridge, rms changed frm 0.026 to 0.019. 05:30Z cart 12, plate 4025. SOGTF. For guider test. fiber offsets improved guiding rms slightly on this cartridge too. 06:10Z cart 4, plate 3899A, KEPLER4. guiding stars were found with educated offsets -0.003, 0.001. After stars centered, offsets are -0.0045, 0.0012.
