APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Saturday February 9, 2008 (MJD 54506) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Elena Malanushenko Dmitry Bizyaev Shannon Watters (afternoon) ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- Night was clear, Moon was on the sky first ~3 hours after twilight and created no promlem. Added signal to plates 2916 and 1795 Finished plates 2946, 2618, 2619, 2760 Guider stopped by itself 2 times during exposures. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: --------- All systems checked and working. Using last nights setup and log and the fact that no mechPiston movements were made today the spectro focus should be set for ~1C but using a different cart (4 instead of 7) 'collimate' thinks sp1 is set for ~2.3C and sp2 ~1C. Let's say the focus is set for ~1.5C. Night: ----- 00:45Z Enclosure opened Cart. 4 plate 2946 is on 01:18Z fk5 used focus loop 01:44Z precal flat is bad in r2 and yellow in all others. Temperature of sp1 and sp2 is 7 and 5, respectively. Moving pistons by +2500 both. 02:03Z precal again.
