APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Thursday November 4, 2010 (MJD 55505) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Audrey Simmons Elena Malanushenko Steph Snedden (afternoon) ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- BOSS Science! 5 Nov 2010 55506.0 0.02 01:33 12:01 21:30 08:01 BOSS 10.5 hours ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- It was clear sky with good seeing. We observed BOSS: cart 10, plate 4316 - DONE cart 11, plate 4278 - DONE, and one 300 sec exposure out of field. cart 17 plate 4276, DONE and we made some tests requested by Kyle. Cart 14 plate 4273 - good signal Cart 12 plate 4265 - DONE with one extra exposure to cover gap between plates. Cart 15 plate 3756 -DONE with special requrement for cart 15 Cart 13 plate 3806 - DONE Pauls asked us to do one guider flat after science exposures during readout stage. So, Audrey did this. I helped with codes. Kyle asked some Boss exposures on field and out of field and we made them. We were observing this night with some wooden cover to block night light from Holloman similar as imager house did, but we did not get any improvement with scattered light. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: --------- Between 20:14Z and 20:30Z someone took calibration exposures. I declared them "test". Was this someone on-site? 22:25Z - Took BOSS bias, dark, hartmanns, flat, arc on cartridge 13. Adjusted collimation (pistons, plus a 2 degree move on b2). 23:10Z - Ventilation on, doors opened. Cartridge 10 mounted. 23:39Z - French and I checked the top side of the windbaffle for any bent panels. None were found. During the day, French covered a potential light leak at the bottom northeast corner of the windbaffle (at stow), and a piece of plywood was set up where the doghouse used to be to block light from Holloman. The plywood may not block all light, but it should block enough for us to see a difference in the spectra. Night: ----- 00:10Z enclosure is off Cart 10 plate 4316, Boss ------------------------------------------------------------ MJD b1 r1 b2 r2 Texp Sum Plugfile ------------------------------------------------------------ 55505 2.3 4.6 2.1 4.2 900.8 13.2 4316-55505-01 55505 3.1 5.2 2.6 4.5 900.8 15.4 4316-55505-01 55505 2.9 5.0 2.3 3.8 900.9 14.0 4316-55505-01 55505 2.8 4.5 2.1 3.3 900.8 12.7 4316-55505-01 55505 2.6 3.8 1.9 2.6 900.8 10.9 4316-55505-01 55505 2.6 3.4 1.9 2.3 900.8 10.2 4316-55505-01 55505 2.6 3.4 1.9 2.0 900.8 9.9 4316-55505-01 ------------------------------------------------------------ 18.9 29.9 14.8 22.7 6305.7 --> 86.3 ------------------------------------------------------------ This plate is done.
