APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Thursday August 19, 2010 (MJD 55428) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Kaike Pan Audrey Simmons ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- Observed the following MARVELS plates in partly cloudy conditions: Cart 1, plate 3636A - Broken fibers 63/64, 85/86, and 105/106 Cart 5, plate 3519A&B Cart 6, plate 3706A&B - Side B broken fiber 87/88 Cart 3, plate 3703A - Broken fiber 93/94 We spent about an hour and a half trying to find stars on cartridge 7, plate 3518 for both fields A&B. We were unsuccessful and therefore skipped them. However, we found guide stars on goToField on the very next plate. Another half hour was lost due to the gcamera actor crashing and having to be restarted multiple times. Within MARVELS software, we got this error message: Fri Aug 20 00:03:34 MDT 2010 Error: JCI::TC::client> object recvd is NOT UFFloats: Error: UFStrings.name=PID values The middle slot on the lower cartridge bay rack is slightly too tight for the cartridges to go in and out of smoothly. The cartridge needed to be wiggled back and worth in order to wedge it out. The white plastic guiding pieces need to be shaved down just a little bit. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: ---------- Found platedb actor disconnected in STUI. Craig fixed the problem. 00:45Z - Started ventilating. Mounted cart 1 for the beginning of the night. Night: ------ 02:01Z - Opened enclosure. Filled the spectrographs. 02:14Z - MARVELS calibrations.
