APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Tuesday February 13, 2007 (MJD 54145) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Swing: Dan Long Night: Howard Brewington Mike Harvanek ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- Clouds, high humidity, fog and snow kept us closed all night. We did some snow removal. We moved a full 180 l dewar into the enclosure. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: ---------- No problems with the afternoon check, other than snow. Focus adjusted for the colder weather (not that it will matter much tonight). Now set for about -1 C (using the spectro body temperatures). Night: ------ Clouds, high humidity and fog at sunset. These conditions, along with snow, persisted all night. We never opened. We did some snow removal. We moved a full 180 l dewar into the enclosure. endNight completed successfully. ---=== IMAGING RUN SUMMARY ===--- Run Time Stripe Lambda Last Flavor Comments Start End Begin End Frame ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6717 20:26Z 20:48Z 100 O 159.33 164.77 50 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): YES QA Procedures Done (y/n): N/A UT Exp Time flavor comment (S/N)^2 totals ========================================== b1 r1 b2 r2 ----- sequence 42939, plate -9999 ------- 20:04 42939 0.0 bias ----- sequence 42940, plate 2421 ------- 20:13 42940 10.0 flat 20:16 42941 2.0 arc 20:28 42942 3.0 arc 20:30 42943 3.0 arc 20:49 42944 2.0 arc 20:51 42945 2.0 arc ----- sequence 42946, plate -9999 ------- 00:46 42946 0.0 bias ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE I ===--- Time Instrument Az Alt Rot Scale pos offset pos offset pos offset ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE II ===--- ---=== FOCUS LOG ===--- setmir piston Temp Wind Time Inst scale M1 M2 Foc Az Alt (C) MPH Dir filt fwhm ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---=== WEATHER LOG ===--- Wind Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust DIMM Sky 18:44Z 29 24 -9999 -9999 (N) 447 - Mostly Cloudy 19:16Z 31 24 -9999 -9999 (N) 418 - Partly Cloudy 19:48Z 28 24 -9999 -9999 (N) 351 - Light Snow 20:19Z 25 26 -9999 -9999 (N) 6696 - Heavy Snow 20:49Z 25 25 -9999 -9999 (N) 5129 - Snow 21:21Z 25 25 -9999 -9999 (N) 2287 - Light Snow 21:53Z 24 23 -9999 -9999 (N) 175 - Flurries 22:25Z 23 23 -9999 -9999 (N) 2191 - 22:57Z 24 23 -9999 -9999 (N) 100 - 23:29Z 23 23 -9999 -9999 (N) 212 - 00:01Z 25 22 -9999 -9999 (N) 360 - Partly Cloudy 00:34Z 24 23 -9999 -9999 (N) 376 - Overcast 00:54Z 24 24 -9999 -9999 (N) 11689 - Overcast 01:24Z 24 24 -9999 -9999 (N) 4050 - Fog 01:55Z 24 24 -9999 -9999 (N) 4491 - 02:25Z 24 24 -9999 -9999 (N) 3819 - 02:55Z 24 24 -9999 -9999 (N) 1795 - 03:25Z 25 24 -9999 -9999 (N) 9301 - 03:56Z 25 23 -9999 -9999 (N) 3956 - 04:27Z 24 22 -9999 -9999 (N) 957 - 04:58Z 25 23 -9999 -9999 (N) 232 - 05:28Z 25 23 -9999 -9999 (N) 2426 - 05:59Z 25 22 -9999 -9999 (N) 2892 - 06:30Z 25 22 -9999 -9999 (N) 1221 - 07:01Z 25 21 -9999 -9999 (N) 2177 - 07:33Z 25 21 -9999 -9999 (N) 375 - 08:04Z 25 22 -9999 -9999 (N) 1135 - 08:35Z 24 21 -9999 -9999 (N) 3126 - 09:06Z 24 21 -9999 -9999 (N) 962 - 09:36Z 24 21 -9999 -9999 (N) 231 - 10:08Z 24 21 -9999 -9999 (N) 430 - 10:38Z 24 21 -9999 -9999 (N) 329 - 11:09Z 23 20 -9999 -9999 (N) 1649 - 11:39Z 23 20 -9999 -9999 (N) 1234 - 12:09Z 23 20 -9999 -9999 (N) 334 - ---=== TELESCOPE STATUS ===--- We never opened (clouds, high humidity, fog, snow).
