APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Friday January 11, 2008 (MJD 54477) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Viktor Malanushenko (day) Howard Brewington (observer) Audrey Simmons (observer) ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- Photometric skies, variable seeing , high winds, and low temps (-7 C). We had to focus the spectrographs twice because of temperature changes. Declared the following plates DONE: 1248, 2645, and 2611. Added signal to plates: 2865, 2866, 1636, and 2867. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: ---------- All equipment are checked and work properly. Spectro collimation set for -3C. Ventilation is started at 23:20Z. Cart 9 is mounted. Night: ------ 00:10Z Enclosure off, topped-off spectro secondary dewars, checked top/bottom balance, did test slew, checked the fiducial crossings, and started the DIMM. 00:15Z Sunset 00:40Z Cart 09, plate 2865 (segFaint170). An fk5 was used to find the field. Under photometric skies, seeing was about 1.25" as reported by the DIMM. After completing the pre-cals, we noticed that r1 (arc) was out of spec. So, the exposure was aborted, and both spectros were adjusted by +2000. One exposure was completed: see below 01:17 48830 10.0 flat 01:20 48831 2.0 arc (bad) 01:39Z Evening twilight 01:56 48832 10.0 flat 01:59 48833 2.0 arc 02:33 48834 1801.0 target 02:40Z Cart 01, plate 2866 (segFaint170). Guide stars were found with goToField. With photometric skies, seeing was about 1.0" as reported by the DIMM.

With photometric skies, seeing was about 1.0" as reported by the DIMM. The seeing as reported by the guiderGUI was about 1.5" An offset of 9" was done for the unguided, off-target images. All six exposures were 900 seconds, and plate was declared DONE; see below. 03:38Z Moonset 03:40 48838 10.0 flat 03:42 48839 2.0 arc 04:01 48840 900.0 target (guided, on-field) 04:19 48841 901.0 target (A=+9" unguided, off-target) 04:38 48842 901.0 target (guided, on-field) 04:57 48843 900.0 target (A=-9" unguided, off-target) 05:17 48844 901.0 target (guided, on-field) 05:20 48845 10.0 flat 05:23 48846 2.0 arc 05:42 48847 901.0 target (A=+9" unguided, off-target) 05:47Z Cart 02, plate 1636 (photoz79).
