APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Sunday February 26, 2006 (MJD 53793) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Howard Brewington Kaike Pan ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- Lost the first few hours of the night to clouds; however, we declared five plates done, viz., 2215, 2223, 2123, 2357, and 2205. And, we got signal on one other plate: 1810. We had another rotator abort as we move the scope to the stow position at the end of the night. As before, its motion stopped at about 28-degrees. The DIMM was operated for the last two nights and seemed to be happy. A condensed version of setup instructions have been placed at the scope until the web-page procedure can be re-written. In other words, the DIMM has been declared operational. Please, report any problems to Howard. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: ----------- Got the following message as part of the afternoon checkout of the spectros.

See problems section for the focus numbers via SOS. The astro crate was rebooted because ad4 was not responding. And, in the control room, we noticed that the computer monitor for ad4 is very unphappy, i.e., it's flickering and changing background colors. The door lock on the PT is sticking. Night: -------- We had clouds at sunset/twilight, so we waited. 05:31Z Cart 05, plate 2215 (chunk119). Guide stars on goToField. Plate was finished in three exposures. 06:40Z Cart 03, plate 2223 (chunk119). Guide stars on goToField. Plate was finished in three exposures. 07:53Z Cart 06, plate 2123 (chunk109). Guide stars on goToField. Plate was finished in three exposures. 08:57Z Cart 09, plate 2357 (chunk123). Guide stars on goToField. Plate was finished in three exposures. 10:35Z Cart 02, plate 2205 (chunk116). And Fk5 was used to find the field. Plate was declared done when tonight's signal was added to last night's.

We completed three exposures but could not declare this plate done. endNight finished and was happy See problems section for misc Watcher messages. ---=== IMAGING RUN SUMMARY ===--- Run Time Stripe Lambda Last Flavor Comments Start End Begin End Frame ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6036 22:17Z 22:41Z 100 O -159.83 -153.94 54 ignore ---=== 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 ----- sequence 37663, plate -9999 ------- 22:19 37663 0.0 bias ----- sequence 37664, plate 2205 ------- 22:37 37664 10.0 flat 22:39 37665 2.0 arc 22:44 37666 2.1 arc 22:46 37667 2.1 arc ----- sequence 37668, plate -9999 ------- 23:06 37668 0.0 bias 23:20 37669 0.0 bias ----- sequence 37670, plate 2215 ------- 05:39 37670 10.0 flat 05:41 37671 2.0 arc 06:00 37672 900.1 target 06:18 37673 900.1 target 06:35 37674 900.1 target ----- sequence 37675, plate 2223 ------- 06:47 37675 10.0 flat 06:50 37676 2.0 arc 07:08 37677 900.1 target 07:21 37678 600.1 target 07:43 37679 1200.1 target ----- sequence 37680, plate 2123 ------- 07:58 37680 10.0 flat 08:00 37681 2.0 arc 08:19 37682 900.1 target 08:31 37683 600.1 target 08:47 37684 750.1 target ----- sequence 37685, plate 2357 ------- 08:59 37685 10.0 flat 09:01 37686 2.0 arc 09:20 37687 900.1 target 09:42 37688 1200.1 target 10:24 37689 1500.1 target ----- sequence 37690, plate 2205 ------- 10:45 37690 10.0 flat 10:47 37691 2.0 arc 11:01 37692 600.1 target 11:24 37693 1200.1 target ----- sequence 37694, plate 1810 ------- 11:35 37694 10.0 flat 11:38 37695 2.0 arc 11:56 37696 900.1 target 12:13 37697 900.1 target 12:26 37698 600.1 target ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE I ===--- Time Instrument Az Alt Rot Scale pos offset pos offset pos offset ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 05:48Z 5 2215 90.88 0.0019 63.18 0.0044 254.44 -0.0064 1.000090 07:03Z 3 2223 78.80 0.0035 70.83 0.0030 248.00 0.0183 1.000090 08:12Z 6 2123 90.00 0.0060 57.32 0.0028 250.73 0.0231 1.000150 09:05Z 9 2357 282.84 0.0025 68.43 0.0032 114.37 0.0071 1.000160 10:53Z 2 2205 70.77 0.0025 62.79 0.0049 237.99 0.0070 1.000040 ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE II ===--- ---=== DATA TAPE SUMMARY ===--- Goes: JL Stays: JL ---=== FOCUS LOG ===--- setmir piston Temp Wind Time Inst scale M1 M2 Foc Az Alt (C) MPH Dir filt fwhm ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 23:46Z 2 0 1.00000 0 1257 0 121 30.0 4.8 13 198 05:48Z 5 2215 1.00009 -889 460 50 91 63.1 4.3 13 188 gdr 1.4 07:02Z 3 2223 1.00009 -889 484 90 79 70.8 3.2 14 206 gdr 1.5 08:12Z 6 2123 1.00015 -1481 4 70 90 57.3 4.2 17 220 gdr 1.4 09:05Z 9 2357 1.00016 -1580 -114 60 283 68.5 4.0 12 228 gdr 1.9 10:53Z 2 2205 1.00004 -395 909 90 71 62.8 3.8 13 237 gdr 1.4 ---=== WEATHER LOG ===--- Wind Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust DIMM Sky 22:15Z 43 14 6 190 (S) 538 - 22:47Z 41 17 15 199 (SSW) 543 - 23:19Z 41 7 10 189 (S) 477 - 23:51Z 40 12 10 198 (SSW) 488 - 00:24Z 40 4 14 205 (SSW) 524 - 00:56Z 40 5 14 207 (SSW) 533 - 01:28Z 42 1 10 188 (S) 558 - 02:00Z 43 2 14 197 (SSW) 517 - 02:32Z 44 2 11 180 (S) 517 - 03:04Z 42 4 13 182 (S) 562 - 03:36Z 39 10 16 166 (SSE) 586 - 04:09Z 39 16 16 178 (S) 586 - 04:41Z 39 21 10 183 (S) 663 - 05:12Z 39 22 15 190 (S) 745 - 05:45Z 39 21 14 215 (SW) 669 - 06:15Z 38 23 10 192 (SSW) 663 - 06:45Z 37 23 12 194 (SSW) 676 - 07:16Z 38 23 14 199 (SSW) 691 - 07:46Z 38 22 10 190 (S) 687 - 08:17Z 39 21 14 226 (SW) 666 - 08:48Z 39 19 12 239 (WSW) 706 - 09:20Z 39 20 10 236 (SW) 821 - 09:50Z 39 21 12 248 (WSW) 847 - 10:20Z 39 21 14 248 (WSW) 1035 - 10:52Z 38 23 14 261 (W) 1059 - 11:22Z 38 22 12 260 (W) 1011 - 11:53Z 39 21 13 270 (W) 1032 - 12:23Z 38 22 11 270 (W) 1102 - ---=== TELESCOPE STATUS ===--- 23:40Z Doors and louvers opened, fans on 05:31Z Enclosure off 12:40Z Enclosure on, doors and louvers closed, fans off.
