APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Friday April 27, 2007 (MJD 54218) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Elena Malanushenko Peng Cheng Guo (UF) Brian Lee (UF) Viktor Malanushenko ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- ET Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- We have clouds, virga and lightening near APO. Did not open until 7h. We observed 4 ET cartridges - 8,7,9,6, with 50 min exposure per each cart. Jon Brinkmann helped us and replaced Paralan to fix the guider communication problem. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon ---------- 2.5m telescope has been checked and prepared for observations. I have had error messages from sop (see problem [1] and [2]) while I start the sop session. I closed sop and started again. During bias I got error message [3]. And when I started the guider I got [4]. After I replaced 6th cart to 7th the guider began to update the number. I consulted with Jon Brinkmann and he found hardware problem. There was red error light on guider Paralan block. Jon checked several possibilities and finally replaces the block and rebooted the Guider Mac (several times). The sop and guider work very good after that. I have seen rodent who escaped from cartridge bay and another one inside the enclosure. I am worry about telescope wires. Yesterday we got warning about mountain lion on site. I did not see him myself. Night: ------- It was light clouds but mostly clear on mnt and heavy clouds and virga around, flashing on S. Radar show two returns and APO located between them . T=10C, wind up to 32 mph, dust 1K, humidity 50%. We started ventillation at 01:40 but waited to open. 07:10Z Open enclosure. Cart 8, plate 8021. FSonGTF with cleared offsets. One 50 min exposure. 08:10Z. Cart 7, plate 8022, FSonGTF. One 50 min exoosure. 09:10Z Cart 9, plate 8028.FSonGTF. One 50 min exposure. 10:10Z Cart 6, plate 80-27. FSonGTF. One 50 min exposure. Humidity is go up to limit, wind up to limit, but we still have time to finish last exposure. 11:30Z EndNight is finished. We had some warning, which caused by sop & guider problem: "Based on the sdReport file, these files should have been found on disk, but they do not seem to be present: /data/spectro/54218/sdR-b2-00044559.fit /data/spectro/54218/sdR-r2-00044559.fit Continue anyway?" - yes ---=== IMAGING RUN SUMMARY ===--- Run Time Stripe Lambda Last Flavor Comments Start End Begin End Frame ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---=== 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): QA Procedures Done (y/n): UT Exp Time flavor comment (S/N)^2 totals ========================================== b1 r1 b2 r2 ----- sequence 44559, plate -9999 ------- 00:41 44559 0.0 bias ----- sequence 44561, plate -9999 ------- 00:58 44561 0.0 bias ----- sequence 44562, plate -9999 ------- 01:17 44562 0.0 bias ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE I ===--- Time Instrument Az Alt Rot Scale pos offset pos offset pos offset ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 07:18Z 8 8021 79.16 0.0006 71.93 0.0020 248.85 0.0088 1.000100 08:18Z 7 8022 121.69 0.0060 78.06 0.0029 -65.98 0.0068 1.000200 09:52Z 9 8028 128.80 0.0000 65.82 0.0004 -68.50 0.0049 1.000050 10:18Z 6 8027 133.47 0.0035 72.86 -0.0001 -57.28 -0.0027 1.000050 ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE II ===--- ---=== FOCUS LOG ===--- setmir piston Temp Wind Time Inst scale M1 M2 Foc Az Alt (C) MPH Dir filt fwhm ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 07:18Z 8 8021 1.00010 -988 311 0 79 71.9 8.2 26 74 -- 1.5" 08:18Z 7 8022 1.00020 -1975 -490 25 122 78.1 7.7 24 75 -- 1.4" 09:52Z 9 8028 1.00005 -494 831 100 129 65.9 6.4 24 67 -- 1.8" 10:19Z 6 8027 1.00005 -494 838 120 134 72.9 6.2 23 85 -- 1.8" ---=== WEATHER LOG ===--- Wind Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust DIMM Sky 23:19Z 53 28 10 87 (E) 672 - 23:51Z 52 26 17 73 (ENE) 719 - 00:23Z 52 26 17 72 (ENE) 722 - 00:55Z 51 29 22 74 (ENE) 729 - 01:26Z 50 30 18 73 (ENE) 788 - 01:57Z 49 29 19 72 (ENE) 810 - 02:28Z 49 27 21 72 (ENE) 883 - 03:00Z 49 27 20 73 (ENE) 852 - 03:32Z 48 29 26 74 (ENE) 872 - 04:04Z 47 30 22 73 (ENE) 911 - 04:36Z 47 28 22 74 (ENE) 832 - 05:08Z 46 28 24 73 (ENE) 832 - 05:41Z 45 30 28 71 (ENE) 992 - 06:13Z 46 29 23 69 (ENE) 1147 - 06:45Z 47 29 22 73 (ENE) 1006 - 07:17Z 47 29 18 69 (ENE) 1191 - 07:49Z 46 32 22 76 (ENE) 1034 - 08:21Z 45 32 25 71 (ENE) 1142 - 08:53Z 45 33 22 71 (ENE) 1469 - 09:25Z 43 33 16 76 (ENE) 1058 - 09:57Z 43 36 18 77 (ENE) 1150 - 10:28Z 43 35 27 75 (ENE) 1083 - 11:01Z 43 38 26 86 (E) 1396 - ---=== TELESCOPE STATUS ===--- 01:40Z Started Ventillation. 07:10Z Enclosure off. 11:15 Closed enclosure.
