APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Thursday January 26, 2006 (MJD 53762) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Swing: K. Pan Night: M. Harvanek, Howard Brewington Support: S. Snedden and E. Neilsen (phone) ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- Clouds killed the last hour of the night; however, Completed six plates: 2379, 2361, 2371, 1993, 2381, 2304. And, got signal on one other plate: 1507 Did the Alt test-slews for Russell; see Problem Section. Lost a few minutes when goToField timed-out twice. Activity Section of logTool had problems; we notified Eric and filed a PR. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: ------------ Spectrograph focus checked, no change made. The best focus temp is around 1-2 C. As usual, details in problem section. 22:40Z Fans on, louvers open. 00:00Z doors open. Night: ------- At the start of the night, we noticed that there was a problem with the Activity Section of logTool, i.e., some activities were not being posted. We notified Eric and filed a PR. 00:49Z Cart 01, plate 2379 (segue133). Guide stars on goToField. Guide fiber 2 was disabled.

Guide stars on goToField. We only completed one exposure on this plate because sp2 went out of focus. 03:12Z Cart 06, plate 2381 (segue133). For some reason, the telescope did not slew when we did a goToField. After the command timed-out, we did another goToField, and all was happy. The time stamps for the above are as follows: 2006-01-27 03:16:10Z sdsshost2 IOP 10024 TEXTONLY SOPGUI: gotoField -gflat 2006-01-27 03:20:03Z sdsshost2 IOP 10024 TEXTONLY SOPGUI: gotoField -gflat Guide stars on goToField. We had to do a set of midCals on this field. Plate was declared done after five exposures. 06:28Z Cart 03, plate 2361, (chunk131). Guide stars on goToField.

An Fk5 star was used to find the field. Plate declared done in four exposures. 10:12Z Cart 05, plate 1993 (chunk100). An Fk5 star was used to find the field. We lost a few minutes because Mike's Mozilla caused a problem with his saoDisplay. He killed Mozilla, which fix the problem. This plate was declared done after three exposures. 11:13Z Cart 09, plate 2141 (chunk109). Guide stars on goToField. We lost a few minutes on this field because the telescope stopped slewing after we did the goToField. When the tcc would not time out, we did a control-c, which seemed to kill our tcc connection. After doing a startDa -tcc, we were able to goToField and slew to the field. Unfortunately, clouds became a problem, so we pulled the enclosure over the telescope. 12:00Z Enclosure on. 12:31Z We closed the doors and turned off the fans. endNight finished and happy misc Watcher messages are in the Problems Section ---=== IMAGING RUN SUMMARY ===--- Run Time Stripe Lambda Last Flavor Comments Start End Begin End Frame ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5994 21:46Z 22:09Z 100 O 161.77 167.63 45 ignore ---=== 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 ===--- Summary Checked (y/n): y QA Procedures Done (y/n): y UT Exp Time flavor comment (S/N)^2 totals ========================================== b1 r1 b2 r2 ----- sequence 36720, plate -9999 ------- 22:58 36720 0.0 bias ----- sequence 36721, plate 2379 ------- 23:05 36721 10.0 flat 23:07 36722 2.0 arc 23:11 36723 2.1 arc 23:13 36724 2.1 arc ----- sequence 36725, plate -9999 ------- 00:03 36725 0.0 bias ----- sequence 36727, plate 2379 ------- 01:38 36727 10.0 flat 01:40 36728 2.0 arc 02:00 36729 900.1 target ----- sequence 36730, plate 1507 ------- 02:26 36730 10.0 flat 02:28 36731 2.0 arc 02:36 36732 10.0 flat 02:38 36733 2.0 arc 02:49 36734 10.0 flat 02:51 36735 2.0 arc 03:11 36736 900.1 target ----- sequence 36737, plate 2381 ------- 03:50 36737 10.0 flat 03:52 36738 2.0 arc 04:19 36739 1200.1 target 04:42 36740 1200.1 target 05:04 36741 1200.1 target 05:37 36742 1800.1 target 05:40 36743 10.0 flat 05:42 36744 2.0 arc 06:14 36745 1500.1 target ----- sequence 36746, plate 2361 ------- 06:34 36746 10.0 flat 06:37 36747 2.0 arc 06:56 36748 900.1 target ----- sequence 36749, plate 2371 ------- 07:10 36749 10.0 flat 07:13 36750 2.0 arc 07:37 36751 1200.1 target 07:50 36752 613.4 target ----- sequence 36753, plate 2304 ------- 08:13 36753 10.0 flat 08:16 36754 2.0 arc 08:36 36755 900.1 target 08:59 36756 1200.1 target 09:17 36757 900.1 target 09:34 36758 900.1 target ----- sequence 36759, plate 1993 ------- 09:53 36759 10.0 flat 09:55 36760 2.0 arc 10:15 36761 900.1 target 10:38 36762 720.1 target 10:55 36763 900.1 target ----- sequence 36764, plate 2141 ------- 11:26 36764 10.0 flat 11:28 36765 2.0 arc 11:52 36766 1173.5 target ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE I ===--- Time Instrument Az Alt Rot Scale pos offset pos offset pos offset ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 02:55Z 8 1507 -47.45 -0.0003 46.41 0.0015 141.63 -0.0244 0.999840 03:59Z 6 2381 104.08 0.0012 40.24 0.0030 250.88 -0.0158 1.000250 06:41Z 3 2361 63.83 0.0014 65.11 0.0018 233.15 0.0137 1.000160 07:24Z 4 2371 53.99 -0.0009 68.29 0.0022 225.81 0.0039 1.000090 08:19Z 7 2304 -26.38 -0.0049 78.24 -0.0003 156.13 0.0199 0.999980 ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE II ===--- ---=== DATA TAPE SUMMARY ===--- Goes: JL Stays: JL ---=== FOCUS LOG ===--- setmir piston Temp Wind Time Inst scale M1 M2 Foc Az Alt (C) MPH Dir filt fwhm ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 00:48Z 1 2379 1.00000 0 1152 0 60 60.0 1.4 18 242 02:55Z 8 1507 0.99984 1580 2700 200 -47 46.5 1.2 14 226 gdr 1.7 03:59Z 6 2381 1.00025 -2469 -777 50 104 40.2 0.8 12 223 gdr 1.6 06:40Z 3 2361 1.00016 -1580 -117 50 64 65.1 -0.3 14 197 gdr 1.9 07:23Z 4 2371 1.00009 -889 449 50 54 68.3 0.7 19 219 gdr 1.4 08:19Z 7 2304 0.99998 198 1333 50 -26 78.3 0.1 15 244 gdr 1.3 ---=== WEATHER LOG ===--- Wind Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust DIMM Sky 21:39Z 41 22 13 259 (W) 1153 - 22:09Z 41 19 11 238 (WSW) 1051 - 22:39Z 38 21 12 223 (SW) 1159 - 23:12Z 41 21 11 258 (WSW) 1096 - 23:43Z 39 20 12 233 (SW) 1120 - 00:15Z 36 15 11 213 (SSW) 1287 - 01:14Z 33 26 13 222 (SW) 1576 - 01:44Z 32 25 7 184 (S) 1745 - 02:16Z 33 17 6 200 (SSW) 1576 - 02:47Z 33 14 13 217 (SW) 1428 - 03:18Z 34 -1 8 238 (WSW) 1165 - 03:49Z 34 7 10 233 (SW) 1359 - 04:21Z 32 16 13 224 (SW) 1586 - 04:51Z 34 5 12 232 (SW) 1473 - 05:21Z 33 6 16 234 (SW) 1382 - 05:52Z 32 5 14 235 (SW) 1216 - 06:23Z 32 18 19 208 (SSW) 1389 - 06:54Z 32 13 11 212 (SSW) 1362 - 07:24Z 33 6 10 238 (WSW) 1110 - 07:54Z 33 5 17 214 (SW) 1069 - 08:24Z 32 5 14 253 (WSW) 1091 - 08:56Z 32 3 13 231 (SW) 1040 - 09:26Z 32 4 9 233 (SW) 1075 - 09:56Z 31 5 10 227 (SW) 1017 - 10:27Z 32 20 16 207 (SSW) 1217 - 10:57Z 32 22 16 206 (SSW) 1253 - 11:27Z 32 21 15 197 (SSW) 1251 - 11:59Z 33 18 14 206 (SSW) 1147 - 12:31Z 34 15 16 214 (SW) 1119 - ---=== TELESCOPE STATUS ===--- 22:40Z Fans on, louvers open. 00:00Z Doors open. 00:21Z Enclosure off 12:00Z Enclosure on Telescope at 121,30,00 mount;
