APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Thursday April 1, 2010 (MJD 55288) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Audrey Simmons Dan Oravetz ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Science/Flex Eng. ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- We had a little bit of everything tonight: high dust, high winds, high humidity, clouds, snow. Needless to say, we didn't open. Paul ran the guider simulator for a while and Craig made a new version of the MCP (v6_6_5). ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon ========= We had very high dust counts, clouds, and wind upon arrival. Checked aliveness of actors. Checked fiducials and mirror numbers. Night ===== Poor weather continued. The compressed air alarm on the box adjacent to the boiler room in the Ops building went off a few times. We contacted Mark and subsequently turned off the Dryer 2 box and also closed the adjacent valve. The alarm continued to go off, so we removed the alarm fuse on the box after we'd been assured the alarm should not be a concern. Paul ran the guider simulator for a while. We still had plenty of clouds and some snowflakes, so we called it a night and closed up shop. endNight rejoiced. ---=== IMAGING RUN SUMMARY ===--- Run Time Stripe Lambda Last Flavor Comments Start End Begin End Frame ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---=== IMAGING RUN DETAILS ===--- ---=== SKIPPY RESULTS ===--- Run Frame nFrames stars muErr muRms nuErr nuRms rot az el --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---=== LTMATCH RESULTS ===--- Run Field nFields alt az nGood rowMean rowSig colMean colSig rot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---=== SPECTROSCOPY DATA SUMMARY ===--- Summary Checked (y/n): QA Procedures Done (y/n): UT Exp Time flavor comment (S/N)^2 totals ========================================== b1 r1 b2 r2 ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE I ===--- Time Instrument Az Alt Rot Scale pos offset pos offset pos offset ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE II ===--- ---=== FOCUS LOG ===--- setmir piston Temp Wind Time Inst scale M1 M2 Foc Az Alt (C) MPH Dir filt fwhm ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---=== WEATHER LOG ===--- Wind Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust DIMM Sky 00:25Z 38 23 30 257 (WSW) 7739 - clouds 00:57Z 38 22 27 266 (W) 6170 - all 01:30Z 34 21 18 278 (W) 10179 - night 02:02Z 32 21 11 266 (W) 5664 - long 02:34Z 31 21 22 276 (W) 4102 - 03:06Z 30 20 15 297 (WNW) 4325 - 03:38Z 29 19 19 302 (WNW) 2677 - 04:10Z 29 17 23 290 (WNW) 1752 - 04:42Z 29 15 25 298 (WNW) 1303 - 05:15Z 28 15 14 309 (NW) 1201 - 05:47Z 28 15 19 262 (W) 2185 - 06:19Z 27 15 16 273 (W) 3399 - 06:51Z 24 18 6 287 (WNW) 3320 - 07:23Z 24 16 19 323 (NW) 911 - 07:55Z 22 18 9 279 (W) 2258 - 08:27Z 21 19 15 286 (WNW) 1262 - 09:00Z 22 16 12 273 (W) 728 - 09:32Z 23 14 12 317 (NW) 1886 - 10:04Z 21 12 19 301 (WNW) 889 - 10:36Z 21 11 7 325 (NW) 922 - ---=== TELESCOPE STATUS ===--- We never ventilated or opened.
