APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Friday December 22, 2006 (MJD 54092) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Howard Brewington (Days) Kaike Pan, Viktor Malanushenko (Observers) Visitor: Shi HuoMing, Chen JianJun Supported: Steph Snedden, Russell Owen, French Leger, and Craig Loomis. ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- Homed M2 mirrors due to Galil problem. Clouds all the time. We declared as DONE only one plate; for two others accumulated some S/N. Problems: 1) We had the same problem with tccmon as the last night (see log) 2) We had a problem with M2 Galil, we powercycled it and homed M2. New M2 Galil position are different from the previous ones (see log). ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: ----------- As for the past several days, watcher was still reporting sp2's mechanicals as "Not connected." Watcher also reported "High Rot Drive Current at: 2006-12-22 22:16:24Z tccMon was acting atypically again today although I was able to use tccMon in a normal manner. For the past two days, FYI, the sessions seem to pause for several seconds after I issued the "tccNode" command. And then, I got the message that I posted in the Problems Section. Spectro focus was checked and adjusted (by +3000) to a temp of about -2.5 degrees C. The focus numbers are posted in the Problems Section. Night: ------------ We had the same problem with tccmon for the second night in row. When Kaike tried to open his tccmon session, tccNode gave the fellowing warning message. Then he started tccMonitor 1 anyway, but the tccmon display would not update any information except for data and time (the same problem as Howard had last night). Then Steph restarted Murmur server and clean up semaphore, but it did not work out. Last night, tccmon came back and work properly after about 30 mintues. Tonight, it took about 90 minutues for tccmon display work correctly. Steph suspects that this problem may relate to sdsshost2 resources which might be taken by goStare commands when we did imager calibration. She will try to find a way to release host2 resources. tccmon warning message: ----------------------- watch> tccNode Timeout Lines collected so far: Last interactive login on Friday, 22-DEC-2006 23:50:31.35 0 0 I TrackAdvTime=3.56 0 0 I TCCStatus="TTT","NNN"; TCCPos=121.00,30.00,0.00; AxePos=121.00,30.46,0.0 0 0 I AxisErrCode="OK","OK","OK" 0 0 W AzStat=121.000471, 0.000000, 4673548412.50621, 0x00003800; BadAzStatus; DTime=0.0 0 0 W AltStat=30.455025, 0.000000, 4673548412.59312, 0x40003800; BadAltStatus; ltDTime=0.0 0 0 W RotStat=0.000610, 0.000000, 4673548412.75300, 0x00003800; BadRotStatus; tDTime=0.0; RotID=1, 0 0 0 I TrackAdvTime=3.48 0 0 I Modu="exe_BrdTelPos"; Text="1410100 packets sent successfully" 0 0 I TrackAdvTime=3.48 0 0 I TCCStatus="TTT","NNN"; TCCPos=121.00,30.00,0.00; AxePos=121.00,30.46,0.0 0 0 I AxisErrCode="OK","OK","OK" 0 0 W AzStat=121.000467, 0.000000, 4673548422.50602, 0x00003800; BadAzStatus; DTime=0.0 0 0 W AltStat=30.455017, 0.000000, 4673548422.63322, 0x40003800; BadAltStatus; ltDTime=0.0 0 0 W RotStat=0.000610, 0.000000, 4673548422.79288, 0x00003800; BadRotStatus; tDTime=0.0; RotID=1, 0 Presuming success anyway! file3 --------- We had problems with M2 galil. Per Russell recommendation we powercycled M2 powersupply. Then we Homed M2. The new M2 Galil position are 1455350, 1436000, 1384400, -1350, and 3350 for A, B, C, D, and E respectively. --------- Spec 2 : Mechanical System not connected (1:) --------- Observations: ------------- Cart 3 Plate 2638 baotest, No using FK5 03:45Z sdsshost2 preCalib 03:51Z doNextScience 1200 04:56Z doNextScience 1500 05:27Z doNextScience 1500 05:55Z postCalibs 06:01Z doNextScience 1200 Accumulating S/N = 9.7 Cart 6 Plate 2674 seguefaint159, No using FK5 06:33Z gotoField.
