APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Saturday February 21, 2009 (MJD 54884) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Dan Oravetz Alina Shelden Kaike Pan (Swing) ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- Plate 3241 (cart 9), plate 3262 (cart 7), plate 3258 (cart 5) declared done Lost weather feed from 3.5m. Focus number button and weather feed in log tool didn't work. We accidentally pusedpostCalibs before the last Cart 1 exposure was done. We got the following error: Closing Flat Field Screen 4 FF lamps are on Starting Flat field 0 (press cntrl-C to abort) 2009-02-22 10:40:50Z: There is an ongoing exposure on sp1. goStare was not successful, trying again goStare was not successful, trying again goStare was not successful, trying again goStare was not successful, trying again goStare was not successful, trying again goStare was not successful, trying again Could not do goStare in 5 attempts Finished with Flat field 0 Finished with Flat Field Closing Flat Field Screen 4 Ne and 4 HgCd lamps are on Starting Arc lamp exposure 0 (press cntrl-C to abort) 2009-02-22 10:41:23Z: There is an ongoing exposure on sp1. goStare was not successful, trying again goStare was not successful, trying again goStare was not successful, trying again goStare was not successful, trying again goStare was not successful, trying again goStare was not successful, trying again Could not do goStare in 5 attempts Finished with Arc Lamp exposure 0 Finished With Arc Lamps Exiting successfully This calibration took 77.366 seconds It seems that the image was labeled as "arc" but it looks like a flat on top of a science exposure. However, the counts are all messed up for either a flat or a science exposure. Beware observers: don't push the button prematurely! It puts up an error and knows that the previous exposure is still done, but it closes the petals and turns the lamps on for a few seconds first. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: ---------- All systems were checked and working properly.
