APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Saturday December 29, 2007 (MJD 54464) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Viktor Malanushenko (days) Olena Malanushenko (observer) Dmitry Bizyaev (observer) ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- We had clouds in the evening and clear photometric sky for 1-4h and 7-12h. We could not imaging because of clouds, bad seeing and the Moon. We were doing spectroscopy. We obtained some signal on plates 2864, 2878, 2639, 2858. Plates and DONE and needs to be re-plugged: 2850(cart 2), 2856(cart 4), 1876(cart 3), 1877(cart 1) ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: ---------- All equipment are checked and work properly. Spectro collimation set for -7C. Ventilation is started at 23:10Z. Cart 9 is mounted. Night: ------- 00:20Z enclosure is off Cart 9, plate 2864, segueFaint, with Pri 4. 00:40Z FSonGTF, seeing 1.6" 00:59Z preCalib, We see yellow warning that sp1 wsigma on arc is out of spec.

(s/n)^2 signal is 21.9, and we will continue observations of the plate. Cart 5, plate 2878, chunk with pri 4. Previous signal 4.4 03:11Z GS on GTF 03:13Z preCalib 03:18Z, 3:42Z science 1200 04:06Z science 1100 Plate is expired, we obtained good signal (s/n)^2 5.3 and together with previous observations it can be 9.7 and we need at least two more exposures to finish it. Cart 7, plate 2639, baotest with pri 1. Criteria are r1,r2 > 30. 04:36Z GSonGTF 04:39Z preCalib 04:47Z, 5:15Z science 1500 05:43Z science 1200 06:07 postCalib We obtained (s/n)^2 12.5 and together with previous observations it will be 25.8. We need at least one more exposure to make this plate done. Cart 3, plate 1876, chunk with Pri 1. 06:26 Z GS on GTF 06:26Z preCalib 6:32Z science 1500 While we were waiting the sos result, we started an another exposure at 7:00. We obtained the good signal to declare the plate done, and aborted the additional exposure. "DONE" Cart 1, plate 1877, chunk with Pri 1. 07:16Z, GS on GTF 07:22Z preCalib 07:29Z, 07:57Z, 8:25Z science 150 08:55Z science 1350 09:21Z postCalib is recommended and it is done This plate is done with total (s/n)^2=16.9. "DONE" Cart 6, Plate 2858, segue with Pri 4, 8:44-11:36 09:31Z GS on GTF 09:38 preCalib 09:46, 10:03, 10:21, 10:39 science 900 10:58 preCalib 11:05, 11:23, 11:41 science 900 11:59 postCalibs Plate is expired. As we observed segue plate with Moon, we followed the instruction to get 7-9 exposures per 900 sec. S/n sos results are very low and we will wait the full reduction result and decision from BY. We do not have more plates to observe now even we have 45 min of dark time left (there is one plate 2854, but it is "done" already). 12:40Z enclosure is on We need to wait the morning twi flats for PT. 14:15Z endNight is finished. ---=== IMAGING RUN SUMMARY ===--- Run Time Stripe Lambda Last Flavor Comments Start End Begin End Frame ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7257 21:54Z 22:11Z 100 O 135.59 140.05 44 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): yes UT Exp Time flavor comment (S/N)^2 totals ========================================== b1 r1 b2 r2 ----- sequence 48382, plate -9999 ------- 21:43 48382 0.0 bias ----- sequence 48383, plate 2856 ------- 22:17 48383 10.0 flat 22:20 48384 2.0 arc 22:24 48385 3.0 arc 22:26 48386 3.0 arc ----- sequence 48387, plate -9999 ------- 23:30 48387 0.0 bias 23:34 48388 0.0 bias ----- sequence 48388, plate 2864 ------- 01:01 48389 10.0 flat 01:04 48390 2.0 arc 01:22 48391 10.0 flat 01:24 48392 2.0 arc 01:48 48393 1201.0 target 02:11 48394 1200.0 target 02:34 48395 1200.0 target 02:57 48396 1000.0 target 03:00 48397 10.0 flat 03:03 48398 2.0 arc ----- sequence 48399, plate 2878 ------- 03:15 48399 10.0 flat 03:17 48400 2.0 arc 03:41 48401 1200.0 target 04:04 48402 1200.0 target 04:27 48403 1101.0 target ----- sequence 48404, plate 2639 ------- 04:41 48404 10.0 flat 04:44 48405 2.0 arc 05:14 48406 1500.0 target 05:42 48407 1500.0 target 06:06 48408 1201.0 target 06:09 48409 10.0 flat 06:11 48410 2.0 arc ----- sequence 48411, plate 1876 ------- 06:28 48411 10.0 flat 06:31 48412 2.0 arc 07:00 48413 1500.0 target ----- sequence 48414, plate 1877 ------- 07:25 48414 10.0 flat 07:28 48415 2.0 arc 07:56 48416 1500.0 target 08:24 48417 1500.0 target 08:52 48418 1500.0 target 09:20 48419 1351.0 target 09:24 48420 10.0 flat 09:26 48421 2.0 arc ----- sequence 48422, plate 2858 ------- 09:41 48422 10.0 flat 09:43 48423 2.0 arc 10:03 48424 900.0 target 10:21 48425 901.0 target 10:39 48426 901.0 target 10:57 48427 900.0 target 11:00 48428 10.0 flat 11:03 48429 2.0 arc 11:23 48430 900.0 target 11:40 48431 900.0 target 11:58 48432 901.0 target 12:02 48433 10.0 flat 12:04 48434 2.0 arc ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE I ===--- Time Instrument Az Alt Rot Scale pos offset pos offset pos offset ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 01:39Z 9 2864 2.37 0.0070 47.51 -0.0041 182.03 0.0366 0.999940 03:23Z 5 2878 -28.82 0.0059 43.27 -0.0044 155.72 0.0039 0.999900 06:38Z 3 1876 152.67 0.0056 49.02 -0.0039 -61.49 0.0155 1.000030 07:31Z 1 1877 158.31 0.0056 51.27 -0.0039 -48.84 0.0155 0.999980 09:48Z 6 2858 160.50 0.0058 50.90 -0.0056 -45.68 0.0005 0.999810 ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE II ===--- ---=== FOCUS LOG ===--- setmir piston Temp Wind Time Inst scale M1 M2 Foc Az Alt (C) MPH Dir filt fwhm ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 23:41Z 9 2864 1.00000 0 1257 0 121 30.0 -5.5 2 347 -- 1.6" 03:22Z 5 2878 0.99990 988 2251 230 -29 43.3 -6.2 13 311 -- 1.7" 06:38Z 3 1876 1.00003 -296 1129 190 153 49.0 -6.1 14 318 -- 1.8" 07:31Z 1 1877 0.99998 198 1500 160 158 51.3 -6.0 14 300 -- 1.9" 09:48Z 6 2858 0.99981 1876 2891 160 160 50.9 -6.5 12 284 -- 1.6" ---=== WEATHER LOG ===--- Wind Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust DIMM Sky 21:12Z 22 8 7 314 (NW) 399 - 21:43Z 24 11 12 335 (NNW) 246 - 22:13Z 23 12 12 336 (NNW) 207 - 22:43Z 23 11 8 292 (WNW) 282 - 23:13Z 22 10 8 347 (NNW) 272 - 00:09Z 21 8 3 331 (NNW) 267 - 00:41Z 21 8 12 0 (N) 284 - 01:13Z 22 7 15 0 (N) 287 - 01:45Z 22 6 14 332 (NNW) 299 - 02:15Z 21 7 11 342 (NNW) 292 - 02:46Z 21 8 12 303 (WNW) 265 - 03:17Z 20 10 13 312 (NW) 401 - 03:47Z 21 9 12 325 (NW) 356 - 04:18Z 21 10 17 319 (NW) 332 - 04:48Z 21 8 12 322 (NW) 345 - 05:19Z 21 7 13 319 (NW) 325 - 05:49Z 21 7 12 316 (NW) 414 - 06:19Z 21 7 13 319 (NW) 376 - 06:49Z 21 7 14 317 (NW) 349 - 07:23Z 21 8 18 305 (NW) 359 - 07:55Z 21 8 12 285 (WNW) 311 - 08:26Z 20 7 13 305 (NW) 351 - 08:58Z 19 8 17 299 (WNW) 359 - 09:29Z 20 8 11 278 (W) 426 - 10:00Z 20 8 16 303 (WNW) 371 - 10:30Z 20 9 20 303 (WNW) 386 - 11:00Z 20 9 16 314 (NW) 377 - 11:31Z 21 10 14 290 (WNW) 232 - 12:02Z 21 10 16 314 (NW) 258 - 12:32Z 21 11 16 328 (NNW) 312 - 13:05Z 21 11 23 321 (NW) 277 - 13:36Z 21 11 16 324 (NW) 229 - 14:07Z 21 10 16 328 (NNW) 237 - ---=== TELESCOPE STATUS ===--- 12:10Z - Began ventilation.
