APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Wednesday December 11, 2002 (MJD 52620) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Mike Harvanek (swing) Atsuko Nitta (night) Jurek Krzesinski (night) Alan Uomoto (spectrograph constructor) Boss Boroski (Bill) Hercules (French) ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Science! spectroscopy. ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- We Done three plates: 899, 932, 962. Got some useful signal on one plate. Also we finished observations of Tremonti plate 1179 at pointing #3 and got one exposure at pointing #4. Problems: landru hanged up, but the second observer on commish took over and we did not loose very much time. Criag helped us to recover. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon checkout went proprerly (No wonder, since Mike is on a day shift :))) 00:24Z cart 6 plt 1101, the rotator aborted on the first slew, we initialized rotator and gotoField again. Stars found via fk5. We stopped after the 4-th exposure (plate expired), plate not done. 03:30Z Landru has frozen on Atsuko's netscape. Criag rebooted landru and said "that it wasn't the same xserver problem". Jurek took over and finished with post-calibration. Plate not done, sky mostly bad (red) on all chips. Meanwhile Atsuko restarted all her setup on landru. And got back to work. 03:50Z cart 1 plt 1179 (Tremonti Plate), starts found via fk5. ... waiting for better weather... (clouds are to dense to start an exposure). 04:20Z Precalib taken. We were trying to get an exposure for pointing #3 (offsets: A=1.5, D=-2.6), but clouds were dense and we think the first exposure is lost, so we took next 2 exposures with the same offset. According to SoS the sky was very bright, but we declared pointing #3 done. If you think it shouldn't be declared done, please undone it. We got also one exposure on pointing #4 (offests: -1.5, -2.6) at reasonable sky conditions. 06:40Z cart 9 plate 932, the telescope is pointing at clouds: we couldn't even find a fk5 star - waiting. Stars found via fk5, after clouds have gone, but we lost them again after precalib. Finaly, we've got usefull exposures and done the plate with three 20 min exposures. 09:10Z cart 8 plt 899 mounted. Stars found with fk5. Plate done. 10:50Z cart 3 plt 962 mounted. Stars on slew, clouds again, but we keep observing. Plate done. endNight finished ok. ---=== IMAGING RUN SUMMARY ===--- Run Time Stripe Lambda Last Flavor Comments Start End Begin End Frame ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---=== IMAGING RUN DETAILS ===--- ---=== SKIPPY RESULTS ===--- Run Frame nFrames stars muErr muRms nuErr nuRms rot az el --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---=== LTMATCH RESULTS ===--- Run Field nFields alt az nGood rowMean rowSig colMean colSig rot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---=== SPECTROSCOPY DATA SUMMARY ===--- UT Exp Time flavor comment (S/N)^2 totals ========================================== b1 r1 b2 r2 ----- sequence 17421, plate -9999 ------- 22:05 17421 0.0 bias 00:31 17423 0.0 bias ----- sequence 17424, plate 1101 ------- 00:41 17424 0.0 bias 01:25 17425 10.0 flat 01:28 17426 2.0 arc 01:48 17427 900.1 target 02:17 17428 1500.1 target 02:52 17429 1800.2 target 03:25 17430 1800.2 target ----- sequence 17425, plate 1101 ------- 03:39 17431 10.0 flat 03:41 17432 2.0 arc ----- sequence 17433, plate 1179 ------- 03:45 17433 0.0 bias 04:22 17434 10.0 flat 04:25 17435 2.0 arc 05:04 17436 1200.1 target 05:30 17437 1200.2 target 06:00 17438 1200.2 target 06:31 17439 1200.2 target ----- sequence 17440, plate 932 ------- 07:03 17440 10.0 flat 07:05 17441 2.0 arc 08:00 17442 1200.2 target 08:23 17443 1200.2 target 08:45 17444 1200.2 target 08:53 17445 240.0 smear 08:56 17446 10.0 flat 08:59 17447 2.0 arc ----- sequence 17448, plate 899 ------- 09:17 17448 10.0 flat 09:19 17449 2.0 arc 09:46 17450 1200.2 target 10:10 17451 1200.2 target 10:33 17452 1200.2 target 10:40 17453 240.0 smear ----- sequence 17454, plate 962 ------- 10:54 17454 10.0 flat 10:57 17455 2.0 arc 11:52 17456 1800.2 target 12:15 17457 1200.3 target 12:39 17458 1200.3 target 12:47 17459 240.0 smear 12:50 17460 10.0 flat 12:52 17461 2.0 arc ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE I ===--- Time Instrument Az Alt Rot Scale pos offset pos offset pos offset ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 01:41Z 6 1101 -34.73 0.0027 51.91 0.0018 151.29 -0.0160 0.999910 07:46Z 9 932 99.08 0.0021 60.03 -0.0013 259.36 0.0013 1.000020 09:28Z 8 899 138.45 -0.0066 68.68 -0.0008 -55.08 -0.0094 1.000118 11:06Z 3 962 141.19 -0.0082 69.76 -0.0013 -50.95 -0.0060 1.000048 ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE II ===--- ---=== DATA TAPE SUMMARY ===--- Goes: JL5806 Stays: JL5807 ---=== FOCUS LOG ===--- setmir piston Temp Wind Time Inst scale M1 M2 Foc Az Alt (C) MPH Dir filt fwhm ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 01:40Z 6 1101 0.99991 888 1960 50 -34 52.0 -3.6 6 313 gdr 1.5 07:45Z 9 932 1.00002 -198 1039 50 99 60.0 -5.5 6 46 gdr 1.8 09:29Z 8 899 1.00012 -1165 194 25 138 68.7 -5.8 19 19 gdr 2.0 11:06Z 3 962 1.00005 -474 790 50 141 69.8 -6.6 21 31 gdr 2.0 ---=== WEATHER LOG ===--- Wind Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust DIMM Sky 21:34Z 28 11 15 319 (NW) 240 - 22:07Z 28 12 0 334 (NNW) -9999 - 23:54Z 25 15 10 356 (NNW) 225 - 00:26Z 25 14 13 359 (NNW) 170 - 00:57Z 25 13 7 0 (N) 167 - 01:28Z 25 13 9 342 (NNW) 184 - 02:00Z 25 14 9 347 (NNW) 145 - 02:30Z 25 15 4 343 (NNW) 165 - 03:01Z 25 15 9 342 (NNW) 164 - 03:33Z 25 16 6 344 (NNW) 160 - 04:04Z 25 17 7 321 (NW) 164 - 04:38Z 24 17 10 0 (N) 163 - 05:10Z 24 18 5 312 (NW) 172 - 05:42Z 24 18 2 279 (W) 201 - 06:14Z 23 17 9 342 (NNW) 204 - 06:46Z 23 17 17 8 (N) 182 - 07:18Z 22 15 18 339 (NNW) 203 - 07:51Z 22 13 14 18 (NNE) 225 - 08:21Z 22 12 16 9 (N) 252 - 08:51Z 21 11 21 6 (N) 232 - 09:23Z 21 11 14 2 (N) 230 - 09:56Z 20 11 24 8 (N) 218 - 10:27Z 20 11 19 0 (N) 212 - 10:57Z 20 11 27 25 (NNE) 251 - 11:28Z 19 12 20 17 (NNE) 214 - 11:59Z 20 10 22 4 (N) 228 - 12:30Z 21 8 20 34 (NE) 258 - 13:01Z 21 9 29 6 (N) 261 - ---=== TELESCOPE STATUS ===--- 00:15Z Telescope open (fans on since 23:00Z) 13:13Z telescope closed, fans off, hoses hooked up. ---=== SOFTWARE USED ===--- IOP/SOP: v3_98_0 Watcher: v2_20_0 MCP: v5_16_0 TPM: tpm_v2_18_0 AstroDa: v14_47 TCC: 2.6.8 sdssProcedures: v1_56 SoS: v4_9_13 hoggPT: v1_5_8 plate-mapper: v4_1_0 ---=== MIRROR NUMBERS ===--- PRIMARY: -------- Scale: 1.000000 MIGS TONIGHT NOMINAL Axial A 0.0830 0.0790 Axial B 0.7930 0.7970 Axial C 0.8150 0.8240 Trans D -9.0830 -9.1130 Lateral E 1.8690 1.8870 Lateral F 1.4270 1.4300 GALILS Commanded: 5400. -3700. 900. -200. 31550. 30650.
