APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Saturday May 29, 2010 (MJD 55346) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Elena Malanushenko Howard Brewington Step Snedden (IM) Paul Harding (IM) ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- MARVELS Science! 29 May 2010 55346.0 0.85 03:43 10:18 13:10 19:46 MARVELS 7.6 hours ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- Sky was mostly clear with variable seeing. Observed: --------- Cart 09, plate 4001-A, HD88133, MARVELS Cart 06, plate 3796-B, FIELD1068, MARVELS (fibers 63/64 were dead) *** See special note in log about the cart 06 observation. Cart 04, plate 3899-A, KEPLER4, MARVELS Cart 04, plate 3899-B, K5, MARVELS (fibers 31/32 were dead) Cart 01, plate 4002-A, K8, MARVELS Cart 01, plate 4002-B, K21, MARVELS (fibers 68/69 were dead) Marvels fiber bundle got snagged on the LN2 auto-fill connector of sp2; see log. Paul and Steph ran sop tests during the afternoon. FF lamp was replaced; see log. Spectro chiller pressure was at about 12 The 45 degreee fiducial for alt did not read in either direction. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: ---------- 23:30Z Started the checkout 23:35Z Restarted Watcher servers 23:36Z Checked the mirror numbers 23:37Z Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda3 142G 131G 4.2G 97% / /dev/sda1 99M 30M 64M 33% /boot /dev/sdb1 917G 841G 30G 97% /data sdssfiles1p:/data1/data 1.8T 130G 1.7T 8% /files 23:40Z Turned on MARVELS ThAr lamp 23:45Z Recorded software versions 23:50Z Did platedb showActive; MARVELS carts 01, 04, 06, and 09 were ready. 23:55Z Did a spectro bias; all was well; flagged as test. 00:06Z Paul Harding played with the sopActor; will test all actors when he is finished. 00:10Z Steph and I (Howard) ran tests with the test flag for sop doCalibs; it did not work. 01:00Z Finished telescope checkout. Spectro chiller pressure was a little low at about 12. A fiducial was forced with the rotator, and the 45 degree for alt did not read in either direction. 01:15Z Mounted cart 13 for sop testing. 01:47Z Mounted cart 14 for sop testing 02:01 sdsshost2> uptime=65 days 02:08Z Opened doors; turned on fans 20:05Z Sunset with clouds and scattered showers; we waited Night: ------- 02:45Z Flat-field lamp was replaced. With the scope at stow, it was the one at the upper south. 03:07Z 12 degree twilight 03:15Z Enclosure off, topped-off spectro secondary dewars, checked top/bottom balance, did a test slew, checked fiducial crossings for each axis, and started the DIMM. 03:30Z Cart 09, plate 4001, pointing=A, field=HD88133, MARVELS.

So, we closed the flat-field screen and let the exposure finish while we slewed the scope to the stow position in preparation of closing. Hope the exposure is usable. 05:30Z Closed because of clouds and nearby radar returns. During the process of closing, we noticed that MARVELS's fiber bundle was snagged on the LN2 auto-fill connector for sp2. This wrap pulled all the slack fiber from the lower enclosure. Not sure how this happened; all was normal when the fiber was plugged into cart 06. We did marvels calibs after closing. The TIO and ThAr images looked fine, so we're guessing no damage was done. 06:42Z Enclosure off as clouds cleared. 06:53Z Cart 04, plate 3899, pointing=A, field=KEPLER4, MARVELS.
