APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Wednesday November 21, 2007 (MJD 54426) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Dan Oravetz (swing) Audrey Simmons (observer) Viktor Malanushenko (observer) ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- SEGUE Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- Clear sky on sunset, the most part of night was cloudy. Cart 03, plate 2309 - two exposures, not done, S/N on each less than 2. Cart 01, plate 2824 - five exposures, not done, S/N on each less than 2. We ask Brian Yanny to make final reduction of that plates. It is already enough probably received observations. All remained time we have closed because of clouds and radar returns. We have made three times Dithered Flats from Spectro Monthly checkout. All three times test has not been completed and finished with messages about "...Mechanicals did not respond correctly" (please see in to log-section). ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: ---------- All systems checked and working properly. There were only about 75G available on /files, so I ran 'byebye' on 54408 and 54409. As of 22:34Z there are 240G available on /data and 182G available on /files. Spectro focus set for ~3.5C. 23:05Z - Began ventilation. Doors and louvers opened, fans on.
