APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Wednesday June 17, 2009 (MJD 55000) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Elena Malanushenko Viktor Malanushenko Nathan De Lee (by call) ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- The night has been lost due to clouds, minor rain, thunderstorm nearby. We did not open and did not finish any plate. We did some of Marvels calibrations tests (Bias, Tungnf,tharnf,tionf,tio,tung,thar), and need to proceed with more tests (dark, other). We had a problem with Marvel DAS. Nathan rebooted DAS on Marvels server. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: --------- All checked and OK. Collimate checked and good for ~+16 C. 01:16Z opened doors, louvers, start ventillation. Night: ----- Clouds, nearby strong radar return, we did not open on time. 02:50 ThAr marvels lamp "ON" Started marvels calibrations. 05:00 #1 bias 4 exposures MARVELS1.2009-06-18T05:04:18.190.fits MARVELS1.2009-06-18T05:06:11.550.fits MARVELS1.2009-06-18T05:08:04.510.fits MARVELS1.2009-06-18T05:09:57.540.fits 05:09Z #2 TuNgNf , 4 exposures MARVELS1.2009-06-18T05:13:18.940.fits MARVELS1.2009-06-18T05:16:11.560.fits MARVELS1.2009-06-18T05:19:04.680.fits MARVELS1.2009-06-18T05:21:57.780.fits 05:30Z #3 THARNF, 4 by 1200 sec exposures.

I tried to abort the exposure but only got message Jun 18 00:22:19 > WARN: No reply from DAS (timeout).: Failed ACQ => ABORT I tried to run program from my laptop as independent session, but new session behaived with the same manner. I called to Nathan. After some investigations, he restarted DAS at Marvels server and it helped. 06:13Z Rain started. stopped ventilation. 07:29Z #4 THARNF started over - 4 exposures by 1200 sec.
