APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Wednesday November 24, 2010 (MJD 55525) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Viktor Malanushenko Dmitry Bizyaev Kaike Pan (help in the evening) ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- BOSS Science ~ 1.4h, then MARVELS ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- Handle at Lindy cart got broken in the evening (see log). Many thanks to Dan and French for coming on site and fixing the cart handle! Oscillations of rotator were observed during 16 seconds right after opening telescope (see log). We are running new version of guiderActor. Light was left on at APOGEE enclosure. Noticed and turned off before observations. BOSS plates exposed: 12 4291 conditionally done; Kyle: unplug the plate, it is done. 11 4290 not done Short Hartmanns failed during pointing to both BOSS fields, see log. Craig fixed it, but we were unable to test because of coming Marvelous time. MARVELS cartidges exposed: 1 3706 A dead fibers 49, 50, 105, 106 1 3706 B -*- 49,50 67, 68 Happy Thanksgiving! ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Evening checkout: everything was workong normally. 23:10 ventilation started Cartridge 12 was mounted. Right before the cart. 4 taking out from underneath the telescope, the Lindy cart handle got broken. It is broken physically, the metal part that is atatched to the braking block wi th teflone piece. We were unable to find anybody for an hour, then found Dan and French (on cell p hones). 00:05 dome opened. After going to 30 deg from 6 deg, rotator oscillated +- ~ 3 deg for 16 seconds. Then stopped by itself. 00:20 Dan called, he didn't find anybody, and he's driving on site. Expected to be here in 45 minutes. 00:21Z collimation requires moving B1 ring by -11 degrees. Moved. Second collimation reported it wants B1 back by +6 deg. Moved. Third Hartmanns showed that we are in spec. 00:32 sp2 fill failed. Alert in STUI rose. Status of ln2 shows sp2fillfail = YES. Issued "startfillseq" for sp2, and sp2 started filling. 00:40Z Paul Harding: v1_2_3 is what you ran with last night, and before flex eng. v1_2_4 is equivalent to the non tagged code you were running after flex eng. 00:57Z French called from ~ 40 min driving from APO. He'll be here soon. 01:00 Dan Long is on site, started working with the broken handle. 01:20 we try to go to field with full sequence, but the short Hartmann was failed. sop restart issued boss clearExposure issued. 01:25:14 client.v6.sos 111 boss w text="Stopped (and skipped) exposure..." 01:25:14 client.v6.sos 111 boss : 01:25:14 APO.viktorm.sop 220 sos i text="running collimate on 122618" 01:25:14 .tcc 0 tcc I TrackAdvTime=3.53 01:25:15 APO.viktorm.sop 220 sos w text="not yet handling :All files not found: /data/spectro/*/sdR-b1-00122618.fit*, /data/spectro/*/sdR-b1-00122619.fit*:" 01:25:15 APO.viktorm.sop 220 sos w text="not yet handling :All files not found: /data/spectro/*/sdR-b2-00122618.fit*, /data/spectro/*/sdR-b2-00122619.fit*:" 01:25:15 APO.viktorm.sop 220 sos f text="collimation process failed" 01:25:15 APO.viktorm 87 sop i stageState="gotoField.hartmann","failed",0.0,0.0 01:25:15 APO.viktorm 87 sop i gotoFieldState="running","OK","done","failed","pending","pending" 01:25:15 APO.viktorm 87 sop i gotoFieldState="failed","failed to take hartmann sequence","done","failed","pending","pending" 01:25:15 APO.viktorm 87 sop f text="Failed to do Hartmann sequence" 01:25:14 client.v6.sos 111 boss w text="Stopped (and skipped) exposure..." 01:25:14 client.v6.sos 111 boss : 01:25:14 APO.viktorm.sop 220 sos i text="running collimate on 122618" 01:25:14 .tcc 0 tcc I TrackAdvTime=3.53 01:25:15 APO.viktorm.sop 220 sos w text="not yet handling :All files not found: /data/spectro/*/sdR-b1-00122618.fit*, /data/spectro/*/sdR-b1-00122619.fit*:" 01:25:15 APO.viktorm.sop 220 sos w text="not yet handling :All files not found: /data/spectro/*/sdR-b2-00122618.fit*, /data/spectro/*/sdR-b2-00122619.fit*:" 01:25:15 APO.viktorm.sop 220 sos f text="collimation process failed" 01:25:15 APO.viktorm 87 sop i stageState="gotoField.hartmann","failed",0.0,0.0 01:25:15 APO.viktorm 87 sop i gotoFieldState="running","OK","done","failed","pending","pending" 01:25:15 APO.viktorm 87 sop i gotoFieldState="failed","failed to take hartmann sequence","done","failed","pending","pending" 01:25:15 APO.viktorm 87 sop f text="Failed to do Hartmann sequence" Hartmans failed We went to field again, with calibrations only (skip Hartmann, since the collimation has been done in this position of telescope.) Calibrations took smoothly. 01:30Z GSOGTF with cart. 12 Seeing ~ 1.6". Fibers 9,13,15,16 are way ourt of focus, we had to turn out them to make focus converge. 01:50Z Dan and French are both on site, fixing the handle (putting a shuft inside the hollow handle. They said they'll finish in 20 moinutes, so we expect no breaks in normal night operations. 02:25Z the handle is fixed.
