APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Saturday October 27, 2007 (MJD 54401) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Shannon Watters Dmitry Bizyaev ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- SEGUE ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- We reverted back to the ole patched up TCC because of the header problems from last night. Photometric skies for the majority of the night. We acquired signal on 4 plates (2305, 2815, 2825, 2682) but don't know if they're finished until we hear back from B. Yanny. We couldn't find guide stars on plate 2632 (same problem on MJD 54397). ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: --------- All systems checked and working. Reverted to TCC 2.7.2.1 (August 6 2004). Removed MJDs 54388 - 54392 (58GB available on /data). Spectro focus set for ~10.5C. Night: ----- 00:45Z Cart 2, plate 2305, segue126. NGSOGTF (twilight), FK5 used.

NGSOGTF, found FK5. Still wasn't able to find guide stars even after a spiral pattern. We found 1 star in fiber 10 but not in any other fibers so it's probably a coincidence. The fiducials are fine. This happened with this plate on MJD 54397 too. Moving on... 03:53Z Cart 5, plate 2815, segue166.

After the cals the guider wasn't working with Dmitry's sop session but did run on mine so we exited his and restarted a new session. 06:26Z Science (900) 06:44Z Science (900) 07:02Z Science (900) 07:21Z Science (900) 07:39Z Science (900) 07:57Z Postcals 08:07Z Cart 8, plate 2682, segue161.
