APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Tuesday April 18, 2006 (MJD 53844) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Days: Howard Brewington Observers: Dan Long and Kaike Pan ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Shakedown and cience! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- High dust prevented us from opening, again! Plate 2476 is done? Thanks to Mike who reminded us that plates 2476 was observed on MJD 53826, and pending feedback whether it can be declared done. Could Brian or Connie take a look on the data and let us know if it needs to be observed again. Thanks. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: ----------- As Craig requested, I kill and restarted the mcpMenu at the 2.5-meter laptop using the -t (test) version of iop. The new MPC-session displayed the version numbers: mcp=v6_3_1, PLC=v21, and Fiducial=v1_49. I had to reboot photo-two crate because the id-5 monitor was unhappy during the goDrift -bias, i.e., the monitor appear dark. The noise bars in the astro monitors were still present today. The Spectro focus/collimation was not checked today because the engCam is still mounted. I could not ventilate the 2.5-meter enclosure because of high dust (3.6k) again at sunset. Night: ---------- 02:20Z The plan is to get a pointing model first, but high dust counts (4K) prevent us from opening. 10:30Z With only half an hour until twilight and no change in conditions, we call it a night. EndNight rejoiced. ---=== IMAGING RUN SUMMARY ===--- Run Time Stripe Lambda Last Flavor Comments Start End Begin End Frame ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6095 23:31Z 23:41Z 100 O -91.11 -88.63 31 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 38658, plate -9999 ------- 23:33 38658 0.0 bias 00:20 38659 0.0 bias 00:42 38660 0.0 bias ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE I ===--- Time Instrument Az Alt Rot Scale pos offset pos offset pos offset ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---=== 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 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 23:37Z engcam 1.00000 0 -2743 0 121 30.3 13.9 15 274 ---=== WEATHER LOG ===--- Wind Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust DIMM Sky 23:24Z 60 16 17 229 (SW) 3770 - Clear 23:55Z 59 16 20 246 (WSW) 3583 - Clear 00:25Z 57 14 16 240 (WSW) 3664 - Clear 00:57Z 55 12 17 252 (WSW) 3601 - Clear 01:28Z 52 9 18 251 (WSW) 3731 - Clear 02:41Z 48 7 16 256 (WSW) 3877 - Clear 03:14Z 47 7 9 260 (W) 4016 - Clear 03:46Z 47 7 11 266 (W) 3956 - Clear 04:18Z 47 7 15 268 (W) 3209 - Clear 04:50Z 47 7 10 270 (W) 3256 - Clear 05:22Z 46 6 15 265 (W) 3363 - Clear 05:54Z 44 6 12 242 (WSW) 3233 - Clear 06:26Z 45 7 7 217 (SW) 3280 - Clear 06:59Z 45 7 11 238 (WSW) 3861 - Clear 07:31Z 45 8 3 260 (W) 3491 - Clear 08:03Z 47 7 3 330 (NNW) 3275 - Clear 08:35Z 47 6 6 344 (NNW) 2897 - Clear 09:07Z 48 6 11 322 (NW) 3017 - Clear 09:39Z 48 4 9 57 (ENE) 3179 - Clear 10:12Z 48 3 4 336 (NNW) 3531 - Clear ---=== TELESCOPE STATUS ===--- Enclosure never opened Stowed at 30 deg alt, engcam installed.
