APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Monday December 20, 2010 (MJD 55551) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Audrey Simmons Viktor Malanushenko Kaike Pan (afternoon) Support: Jon Brinkmann Steph Snedden Remotely: Paul Harding Craig Loomis ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Flexible eng. tasks and Marvels ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- Cloudy and strong wind at the evening. We lost some times. Jon tested new MCP. But he says there will be no new MCP tonight. Paul and Craig tested the code fix for the slow guider response and continuing exposures after stopping guider. Despite lots of abuse the guider stopped when asked "nicely". Actually, that fix was basically tested last night, but not tested with evil intent. Craig applied a correction to the spectro instrument block that removed the systematic rotation offset of ~90 arc sec on the rotator. They did more work verifying the directions of calibration and calibration xy offsets. We swapped -x to +x in the spectro instrument block. Using a guide fiber in a center hole in cart 15 we measured the offset of the plate center for the rotator center. We observed 2 MARVELS plates: Cart.7#3091B Cart.4#3892A Problems: At the evening we found that the gcamera Temp ~ -47C. We try the power off a few minutes to see if temp control will work again. But it still colder than -44 C degree. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: ---------- All actors and systems were checkout, no problem to report. BOSS collimations, calibrations were taken on cart 17. 23:20Z started ventilation. 23:45Z mounted cart 15 for Paul's test. Night: ------ 03:20Z enclosure off Dewars filling: Sp1: 151lb --> 135.0lb == 16.0lb Sp2: 183lb --> 178.5lb == 4.5lb Engineering tests to guider, Paul & Craig.

Paul and Craig did more work verifying the directions of calibration and calibration xy offsets. They swapped -x to +x in the spectro instrument block. Also using a guide fiber in a center hole in cart 15, they measured the offset of the plate center for the rotator center. MARVELS T10:12:09.000 0 11. 41478. 4574.
