APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Thursday January 15, 2009 (MJD 54847) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Kaike Pan Howard Brewington Steph Snedden (swing) Scott Fleming (UF) ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- 15 Jan 2009 54847.0 0.62 BOSS/SEGUE until 05:41 (3.9 h), then MARVELS (7.5 h) ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- Run #7907: 83 S -startLambda 172 -endLambda -167 (not including ramps) Run #7908: 85 S, -startLambda -162 -endLambda -140 (not including ramps) Added signal to MARVESLS plates: 3088 A and B 3087 B 3091 A and B Completed some scale tests with plate 3089 B Kaike's SOP session stopped working and had to be restarted. Later, the guider stopped working, so yet another SOP session had to be started. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: ---------- The id6 monitor went bad this afternoon. We may be out of spares, but Jon is scrounging around. There is a hot component smell in the lower enclosure, but I could find nothing wrong, nor could I locate the source. Possibly a bad flourescent light ballast? There is a flickering tube in the lower enclosure on the east end of the building. New nominal MIG values were set. Spectro focus was left set for an air temp of about 0C. Removed MJDs 54814, 54815 from sdsshost2 / sdssfiles1 The disk space is now: /dev/sdb1 917G 827G 44G 95% /data sdssfiles1p:/data1/data 1.5T 774G 619G 56% /files 23:40Z - Started enclosure ventilation. Night: ----- 00:17Z Sunset 00:20Z Enclosure off, topped-off spectro secondary dewars, checked top/bottom balance, did a test slew, checked fiducial crossings for each axis, and started the DIMM. 00:35Z DIMM reported the seeing as ~0.5" 00:45Z Mounted imager; did top/bottom balance check. 01:00Z scanStripe 83 S -startLambda 160 01:20Z goDrift; see Imaging Details for more info. 01:47Z Twilight end 03:27Z endDrift (stripe 83 S) 03:29Z scanStripe 85 S -startLambda -163 03:30Z goDrift -quick; see Imaging Details for more info. 05:10Z endDrift (stripe 85 S) 05:13Z Removed imager 05:30Z Mounted corrector and Cart 01. Also checked and adjusted the top/bottom balance. 05:43Z Moonrise 05:40Z Cart 01, plate 3088-A (Nov08a_Marvels). An FK5 and spiralPattern pattern was used to find the field. Seeing was about 0.5" as reported by the DIMM. Completed one 10-minute cal and one 50-minute exposure. 06:53Z Cart 01, plate 3088-B (Nov08a_Marvels). Guide stars were foune with goToField. Seeing was about 0.5" as reported by the DIMM. Completed one 10-minute cal and one 50-minute exposure. 08:10Z Cart 09, plate 3078-B (Oct08a_Marvels). An FK5 was used to find the field. Seeing was about 0.75" as reported by the DIMM. Completed one 10-minute cal and one 50-minute exposure. 09:15Z Cart 05, plate 3089-B (Nov08a_Marvels). Guide stars were foune with goToField. Seeing was about 0.5" as reported by the DIMM. Completed Some scale tests. 10:19Z Kaike's SOP session stopped working, had to be kill, and restarted. About ten minutes were lost to this problem. 10:34Z Cart 04, plate 3091-A (Nov08a_Marvels). An FK5 was used to find the field. Seeing was about 0.75" as reported by the DIMM. Completed one 10-minute cal and one 50-minute exposure; however, the guider stopped updating. Durning the last ten minutes of this exposure, the stars were lost. 11:33Z Kaike had to exit his SOP session and start another one. 11:43Z Cart 04, plate 3091-B (Nov08a_Marvels). An FK5 was used to find the field. Seeing was about 0.5" as reported by the DIMM.
