APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Thursday February 15, 2007 (MJD 54147) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Swing: Dan Long Night: Shannon Watters Mike Harvanek ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- Blowing snow kept us closed all night. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: ---------- Rain sensor currently disabled (blowing snow keeps setting it off). Afternoon check went smoothly, although there were a couple of oddities. First was warning messages from the archiver claiming it was behind in archiving frame 21 of the test bias. By the time I had ended the drift and looked for the frames in the appropriate directories, everything was there. Watcher messages in the problems section. Second was a rotator abort testing telescope motion. A double axis init cleared it. Maybe it was just a large accumulated error. The cart is currently in the enclosure. Spectrograph focus adjusted colder once again. Now set for about -2 C (using the spectro body temperatures). Night: ------ Blowing snow kept us closed all night.

Not sure what the error was about. If real, it corrected itself by the time I ended the drift and checked.
