APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Wednesday October 27, 2010 (MJD 55497) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Viktor Malanushenko Dmitry Bizyaev Steph Snedden (afternoon) ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- BOSS, then MARVELS science ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- Clear night with intermediate seeing BOSS cartridges: 4095 (c. 11) not done Interesting to note that 2 calibration arcs were taken before the science: 121204 and 121207. The former one has bad (red) "b2". Then we took Hartmanns, and ensured ourselves that the specrtographs were in spec, no piston moves were required. The we took 121207 then, and this was in-spec, according to SoS3. This is hard to explain by something other than an instability of sos3 quick reduction, unless we believe in management of mechanics by a power of mind. 4286 (c. 16) one test exposure is taken by request of David Schlegel to do an urgent exposure with a BOSS plate, because the 4095 reduction looks weird. 25 min of MARVELS time used. According to new criteria of doneness, plate 4287 cart. 13 is DONE now. All MARVELS cartridges were exposed: 4 3519 B - fibers 31,32 mised in Object frame. Fibers 49, 50 are also missed in object and in Th-Ar 1 3513 B - lost fibers 49,50, 67,68 6 3706 A - lost fibers 49, 50 6 3706 B - lost fibers 49, 50, 87, 88 7 3898 A - lost fibers 33, 34, 49, 50, 81, 82 7 3898 B - lost fibers 49,50 , 65,66, 105,106 8 3219 A - lost fibers 47,48 49,50 117,118 5 3798 B - lost fibers 49, 50 Apparenrtly, fibers 49 and 50 are broken not in cartridges but in the gang connector cable. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: --------- 22:19Z - All actors alive (except ecamera, as expected). 22:43Z - Cartridge 11 mounted Afternoon checkout at the encloure completed without problems. We note that there is a new hole in the floor where the doghouse used to be. Presumably that is for the new MARVELS gang connector access? 23:25Z - BOSS bias, dark, flat, arc, Hartmanns taken. Collimation adjusted by piston only, and all is in spec. N.B. Tonight we start BOSS with the new (S/N)^2 stopping criteria: red > 22 blue > 10 23:25Z - ThAr lamp on.
