APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Tuesday February 5, 2008 (MJD 54502) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Viktor Malanushenko Audrey Simmons Shannon Watters (afternoon) ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- Clear and photometric for most of the night, but very cold (-10C on average). Overall, a very productive night: Cart 3, plate 2943 - FINISHED Cart 4, plate 2881 - FINISHED Cart 5, plate 2657 - FINISHED Cart 6, plate 2617 - FINISHED Cart 7, plate 2658 - FINISHED Cart 8, plate 1794 We had a watcher error come up at 07:33Z complaining that the id1 dArchiver was suspended. We were able to resume it by logging into the id1 console and issuing a 'taskResume ' command. Note: The stop button on the west rail, behind the enclosure, keeps flashing on and off again. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: --------- All systems checked and working. Spectro focus set for ~ -5C. Mounted cart 3, plate 2943 to begin the night. Night: ------ Delayed opening because of nearby radar returns. 01:32Z - Volts CCD55 vs+ watcher error. 02:12Z - Opened enclosure to clear, photometric skies. 02:41Z - goToField cart 3, seguefaint182 plate 2943.
