APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Friday February 6, 2009 (MJD 54869) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Dan Oravetz Alaina Shelden Steph Snedden (afternoon) MARVELS team: Nathan De Lee Liming Dou ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- MARVELS Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- Another uneventful night. We had a variety of clouds throughout the night, delaying exposure for about 20 minutes on one occassion. On Cart 4A tcc timed out while slewing and a scale change timed out. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: ---------- The daily spectro focus check showed there were no lingering problems with sp2. All appears normal. No problems noted during afternoon checkout. 23:55Z - Started enclosure ventilation.

Collimate indicates the focus is set for an air temp between 3 and 4 C. That should be close enough to be in the black at the end of the night (maybe).
