APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Wednesday February 11, 2009 (MJD 54874) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Howard Brewington Audrey Simmons Kaike Pan (swing) Dan Long (guider) Paul Harding (guider) Marvels: Nathan De Lee LiMing Dou ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- Succesful testing of the new guider on the sky - guide stars in all fibers. Played with focus, scale, offsets, exposure times, etc. MARVELS obtained exposures on cart 4, plate 3088A and cart 4, plate 3219B. Clouds kept us from gathering any data the second half of the night. We obtained a new set of spectro biases. Shakedown tasks for February completed thus far: Spectro biases (still need to position fibers and adjust wavelengths on CCDs) Home/relax mirrors Pointing model Checked disk space Exercised spectrographs and guider ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: ----------- Paul and day crew are install new guider and focus it. We don't get the telescope till 00:55Z. We did not have time for spectro focus check. All systems were checked and working properly.

Night: ------ 01:35Z - goToField cart 7, SEGUE plate 3210. Paul tested the new guider camera on the field, but the aperture needed to be changed. 02:22Z - goToField. Guide stars in all fibers! Moved to best focus, centered the stars, changed exposure time, moved rotator, moved scale, TCC time outs Took a bunch of images. 04:03Z - Took off new guider and put back the old one. 04:50Z - Mounted cart 9, MARVELS plate 3088. 05:03Z - Refocused the old guider. 05:17Z - goToField, field A. GSFOGTF. First guider frame: gimg0026.fits 05:20Z - 50 min exposure. Seeing 1.1" 06:13Z - Mounted cart 4, MARVELS plate 3219, field B. GSFOGTF. First guider frame gimg0225.fits. 06:27Z - 50 min exposure. Seeing 1.7" 06:55Z - Heavy clouds came in. Lost guide stars. We sent the telescope to stow position and waited until the clouds cleared before starting again. 09:48Z - Began taking the sequence of spectro biases (58792-58816). 12:30Z - Lots of clouds still. We called it. Closed enclosure and stopped ventilating. 12:38Z - endNight rejoiced. ---=== IMAGING RUN SUMMARY ===--- Run Time Stripe Lambda Last Flavor Comments Start End Begin End Frame ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---=== 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 58786, plate -9999 ------- 22:53 58786 0.0 bias 00:03 58787 0.0 bias 00:06 58788 0.0 bias 00:39 58789 0.0 bias ----- sequence 58790, plate -9999 ------- 04:06 58790 0.0 bias 04:09 58791 0.0 bias ----- sequence 58792, plate 3219 ------- 09:50 58792 0.0 bias 09:52 58793 0.0 bias 09:54 58794 0.0 bias 09:56 58795 0.0 bias 09:59 58796 0.0 bias 10:01 58797 0.0 bias 10:03 58798 0.0 bias 10:06 58799 0.0 bias 10:08 58800 0.0 bias 10:10 58801 0.0 bias 10:12 58802 0.0 bias 10:15 58803 0.0 bias 10:17 58804 0.0 bias 10:19 58805 0.0 bias 10:21 58806 0.0 bias 10:24 58807 0.0 bias 10:26 58808 0.0 bias 10:28 58809 0.0 bias 10:31 58810 0.0 bias 10:33 58811 0.0 bias 10:35 58812 0.0 bias 10:37 58813 0.0 bias 10:40 58814 0.0 bias 10:42 58815 0.0 bias 10:44 58816 0.0 bias ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE I ===--- Time Instrument Az Alt Rot Scale pos offset pos offset pos offset ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 05:24Z 9 3088 238.94 0.0010 70.15 0.0022 72.80 0.0256 1.000040 06:27Z 4 3219 188.59 0.0040 60.90 0.0008 15.31 0.0065 0.999870 ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE II ===--- ---=== FOCUS LOG ===--- setmir piston Temp Wind Time Inst scale M1 M2 Foc Az Alt (C) MPH Dir filt fwhm ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 05:24Z 9 3088 1.00004 -394 894 90 239 70.1 -0.3 12 198 - 1.1 06:27Z 4 3219 0.99987 1283 2363 150 189 60.9 -0.4 12 216 - 1.7 ---=== WEATHER LOG ===--- Wind Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust DIMM Sky 21:43Z 38 0 11 294 (WNW) 256 - Partly cloudy 22:15Z 38 -1 15 301 (WNW) 254 - " 22:47Z 39 -2 13 270 (W) 230 - " 23:19Z 38 -2 10 265 (W) 260 - " 23:51Z 34 -6 13 269 (W) 266 - " 00:23Z 34 -6 9 265 (W) 266 - " 00:55Z 33 -7 10 262 (W) 310 - " 01:28Z 33 -7 13 243 (WSW) 302 - " 01:56Z 33 -6 13 262 (W) 289 - " 02:28Z 33 -5 12 244 (WSW) 319 - " 03:00Z 33 -4 10 259 (W) 277 - " 03:31Z 31 0 8 246 (WSW) 221 - " 04:01Z 32 0 9 228 (SW) 220 - " 04:28Z 32 -1 14 206 (SSW) 254 - " 05:00Z 31 -13 12 210 (SSW) 728 - " 05:33Z 31 -15 11 201 (SSW) 702 - " 06:05Z 31 -16 12 195 (SSW) 413 - " 06:37Z 31 -16 9 200 (SSW) 283 - " 07:09Z 31 -14 14 214 (SW) 309 - Cloudy 07:41Z 30 -16 15 215 (SW) 203 - " 08:13Z 30 -14 11 205 (SSW) 173 - " 08:44Z 31 -13 15 208 (SSW) 282 - " 09:14Z 32 -13 13 229 (SW) 338 - " 09:44Z 32 -13 13 221 (SW) 275 - " 10:18Z 31 -10 13 217 (SW) 327 - " 10:49Z 31 -5 9 195 (SSW) 365 - " 11:21Z 31 0 11 212 (SSW) 361 - " 11:54Z 31 2 14 211 (SSW) 468 - " 12:26Z 31 3 11 211 (SSW) 434 - " ---=== TELESCOPE STATUS ===--- 00:57Z - Began ventilation.
