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. endNight gave the following error: struct EXP - length mismatch between typedef and input Offending line: EXP 406337 Flat 5007 good pt_stare 406337 240.0 54869.08484 6.4004 13.0562 user Dome 02:02:43.06 Error: Trouble in param2Chain with args=/astrolog/54869/mdReport-54869.par reportFileHeader verifyMtFliesOnDisk $mjd /verbose gave the above error. ---=== 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.
