APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Tuesday January 12, 2010 (MJD 55209) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Dan Oravetz Dmitry Bizyaev Steph Snedden (afternoon) ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- BOSS Science ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- Smooth night with photometric sky and good seeing (the current version of guider does not allow to estimate the seeing better than 1.5"). Kaike's guider test performed: Being offset a 100 units, the guider brings its focus back to the same position. Paul's test for guider performed: Disabling an outlying fiber (#9 with cart. 13 in this case) changes focus by 2 ticks only. We finished all BOSS plates tonight: 3735 (done), 3744 (done), 3660 (overdone), 3694 (overdone), 3776 (overdone) This shows that we need at least one more BOSS cartridge for normal operations. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: ---------- Afternoon checkout was without problems. Craig was running boss v2_0_18 when I logged in, but rolled back to v2_0_17 early (he finally got the bad file he wanted). Guider dark, flat taken. BOSS dark taken. 23:25Z - Enclosure ventilation started 23:35Z - Cartridge 13 mounted. Night: ------ 00:25Z dome opened 00:55Z gotoField with cart. 13 plate 3735 GSOGTF -- here we did the guider focusing test -- 1. Let the guider converge to its best focus. Starts from guider frame 0028. 2. Stop autofocusing. 3. Send the focul =100. 4. Turn on the loop. 5. See where the guider converges. Result: it brings focus back to the same position, just 10 units off. Fr. 35. 6. Stop focus loop. 7. Sent focus to +100. 8. Start guder. 8. See where it goes. Result: it goes just 10 off the previous best focus. Test from Paul HArding: currently fiber 9 is out of focus at cart. 13. Focus, then disable fiber 9, and see how the focus change. Result: foc=443 with #9 enabled, foc = 445 with #9 disabled, so there is no difference. 138 01:06 b1-00107360 13 3735 arc Rig 5.0 9780 10518 10282 HART 139 01:12 b1-00107361 13 3735 arc Lef 5.0 22508 23245 23010 HART 140 01:14 b1-00107362 13 3735 arc Rig 5.0 22508 23245 23010 HART 141 01:19 b1-00107363 13 3735 fla Out 30.0 22508 23245 23010 142 01:21 b1-00107364 13 3735 arc Out 5.0 22508 23245 23010 143 01:24 b1-00107365 13 3735 fla Out 30.0 22508 23245 23010 144 01:26 b1-00107366 13 3735 arc Out 5.0 22508 23245 23010 145 01:41 b1-00107367 13 3735 sci Out 900.0 22508 23245 23010 146 01:58 b1-00107368 13 3735 sci Out 901.0 22508 23245 23010 147 02:14 b1-00107369 13 3735 sci Out 900.0 22508 23245 23010 148 02:32 b1-00107370 13 3735 sci Out 901.0 22508 23245 23010 149 02:48 b1-00107371 13 3735 sci Out 900.0 22508 23245 23010 150 03:07 b1-00107372 13 3735 fla Out 31.0 22508 23245 23010 151 03:09 b1-00107373 13 3735 arc Out 4.0 22508 23245 23010 Seeing is 1.5" (the best the guider can show). ------------------------------------------------------------ MJD b1 r1 b2 r2 Texp Sum Plugfile ------------------------------------------------------------ 55209 3.2 4.6 3.1 6.2 900.0 17.1 3735-55209-01 55209 3.2 4.5 3.2 6.8 901.0 17.7 3735-55209-01 55209 3.4 4.3 3.3 6.7 900.0 17.7 3735-55209-01 55209 3.4 4.4 3.4 6.3 901.0 17.5 3735-55209-01 55209 2.8 3.1 2.8 5.4 900.0 14.1 3735-55209-01 ------------------------------------------------------------ 16.0 20.9 15.8 31.4 4502.0 --> 84.1 ------------------------------------------------------------ This plate is expired at this point, but it is finished (this is our and also Kyle's decision). -- 03:10Z plate 3744 cart. 10 is mounted.
