APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Friday September 15, 2006 (MJD 53994) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Swing: Elena Malanushenko Night: Mike Harvanek, Shannon Watters Assistance: French Leger ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Scienza? ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- Marginally photometric skies throughout the night. We started with an imaging run for Segue Strip 118 N but the seeing was bad so we switched over to SN strip 82 S. The seeing improved so after 100 frames of 82 S (lambda=112 to lambda=127.4, including ramps) we moved back to 118 N (mu=307 to mu=356, including ramps) until moonrise at 07:07Z. We switched back to 82 S (lambda=168.2 to lambda=-124, including ramps). We didn't do a Segue plate at the end of the night because the SN group already lost more than 3 hours to the Segue imaging so we let SN finish the night. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon Checkout: ------------------- Finally, it is clear, almost photometric, T=11C, wind up to 27 mph, humidity is still up to 70%. All systems are checked and they work fine. We plan to do imaging, but still in case of spectro observations, spectro focus has been checked and ajusted for T=10C. I used cart. 2 plate 2441 for spectro checkout. The flat file 40666 has very low value of NGOODFIBER=240, which typed with red color. Night: ------ 01:23Z On-telescope imager bias taken under dark conditions. 02:17Z Strip 1188 N, SEGUE, Run 6352. Skippy happy from the beginning. 02:19Z mu=307, rel focus=-300 02:20Z goDrift 02:26Z Ramp started, mu=309, frame 18 02:34Z Would be start of science but seeing > 2". Mu=311, frame 31 02:45Z endDrift due to bad seeing. Labeled 'ignore'. 02:46Z Strip 82 S, SN, Run 6353. Skippy happy from the beginning. Focus good at frame 8. 02:50Z Ramp started, lambda=112, frame 8 02:58Z Science started, lambda=114, frame 18 03:51Z endDrift, lambda=127.4, frame 108 seeing has improved so we're moving back to SEGUE. 03:52Z Strip 1188 N, SEGUE, Run 6354. Skippy happy from the beginning. Focus good at frame 16. Seeing ~1.4". We had strange focus numbers from frame ~107-111. Nu-error reached -8.0" at frame 275 but . 03:54Z Ramp started, mu=307, frame 8 04:01Z Science started, mu=309, frame 19 07:09Z Ramp ended, mu=356, frame 333 07:11Z Strip 82 S, SN, run 6355. Skippy happy from the beginning. Focus good at frame 8. Seeing ~1.2". 07:13Z Ramp started, lambda = 168, frame 8 07:25Z Science started, lambda = 171, frame 25 11:44Z Ramp started, lambda = -124, frame 459 endNight cried tears of joy. ---=== IMAGING RUN
