APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Sunday January 27, 2008 (MJD 54493) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Viktor Malanushenko Steph Snedden ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- It would be nice if we get to open the enclosure. ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- Poor weather all night. We never went on-sky. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: --------- Viktor lost an xterm window running a SOP plus SOPGUI session on Landru in the following way: He highlighted some text in the SOP window, and when he released the left mouse button, the xterm session disappeared. After that, he could not run any application that used Tk, because he couldn't get access to the Tk event loop. He had to completely log out and in again. Presumably, this is a problem with a hung process between Tk and X11? All other afternoon checks were problem-free. Night: ----- Clouds and high humidity at sunset. Viktor ran some spectrograph stability tests while we were closed. The results follow: Time air T mechSend T mechSend Az Alt Rot Arc1,2 --- Spectro#1---- ---Spectro#2------ 00:20Z +3.6 +8.5 +8524 +6.2 +7286 121 30 0 49319, 49320 02:02Z +3.1 +8.5 +9059 +6.3 +7366 121 30 0 49321, 49322 03:02Z +2.8 +8.5 +9132 +6.2 +7556 121 30 0 49323, 49324 04:01Z +2.0 +8.4 +9105 +6.2 +7431 121 30 0 49325, 49326 05:02Z +2.9 +8.4 +9066 +6.1 +7366 121 30 0 49327, 49328 was fault: I turned off the arc-lamps before Arc49330, sorry...

Note that tonight's temperature did not change too much. 11:29Z - Clouds, humidity, high wind all look like they will last a long while. We give up. endNight rejoiced. ---=== IMAGING RUN SUMMARY ===--- Run Time Stripe Lambda Last Flavor Comments Start End Begin End Frame ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7301 22:53Z 00:04Z 100 O -181.02 -163.20 133 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): QA Procedures Done (y/n): UT Exp Time flavor comment (S/N)^2 totals ========================================== b1 r1 b2 r2 ----- sequence 49317, plate -9999 ------- 00:02 49317 0.0 bias 00:05 49318 0.0 bias ----- sequence 49319, plate 2890 ------- 00:19 49319 3.0 arc spectro stability test 00:22 49320 3.0 arc " 02:04 49321 3.0 arc " 02:06 49322 2.0 arc " 03:05 49323 3.0 arc " 03:08 49324 3.0 arc " 04:05 49325 2.0 arc " 04:07 49326 3.0 arc " 05:05 49327 3.0 arc " 05:08 49328 3.0 arc " 05:37 49329 3.0 arc " 05:40 49330 3.0 arc " 05:43 49331 2.0 arc " 05:46 49332 3.0 arc " 05:59 49333 3.0 arc " 06:02 49334 3.0 arc " 06:10 49335 3.0 arc " 06:13 49336 3.0 arc " 06:23 49337 2.0 arc " 06:25 49338 3.0 arc " 06:34 49339 2.0 arc " 06:37 49340 3.0 arc " 06:47 49341 3.0 arc " 06:49 49342 3.0 arc " ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE I ===--- Time Instrument Az Alt Rot Scale pos offset pos offset pos offset ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---=== FOCUS LOG ===--- setmir piston Temp Wind Time Inst scale M1 M2 Foc Az Alt (C) MPH Dir filt fwhm ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---=== WEATHER LOG ===--- Wind Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust DIMM Sky 23:56Z 38 33 11 267 (W) 222 - Cloudy 00:27Z 37 33 20 268 (W) 329 - ' 00:59Z 37 33 18 265 (W) 307 - ' 01:31Z 37 33 14 275 (W) 276 - ' 02:05Z 37 33 19 260 (W) 270 - ' 02:36Z 37 33 16 264 (W) 337 - ' 03:09Z 37 33 14 266 (W) 399 - ' 03:41Z 36 34 15 258 (WSW) 396 - ' 04:13Z 36 35 14 267 (W) 354 - ' 04:45Z 36 35 19 248 (WSW) 332 - ' 05:17Z 37 35 17 268 (W) 335 - ' 05:47Z 37 34 21 231 (SW) 355 - ' 06:18Z 37 34 23 225 (SW) 340 - ' 06:50Z 38 34 24 229 (SW) 349 - ' 07:23Z 37 34 32 229 (SW) 327 - ' 07:55Z 37 34 29 213 (SSW) 445 - ' 08:27Z 37 34 31 230 (SW) 405 - ' 08:59Z 36 34 28 241 (WSW) 434 - ' 09:31Z 36 34 30 218 (SW) 454 - ' 10:04Z 36 34 33 236 (SW) 582 - ' 10:36Z 35 34 31 224 (SW) 692 - ' 11:08Z 36 34 29 257 (WSW) 519 - ' ---=== TELESCOPE STATUS ===--- We never opened.
