APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Thursday November 18, 2010 (MJD 55519) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Audrey Simmons Howard Brewington Steph Snedden (afternoon) Craig Loomis Russell Owen Paul Harding ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Flex engineering and MARVELS ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- Some guider tests were done at the start of the night. Note from paul, the guide fiber button for Cart 18 needs to be shimmed. Observed: Missing spectro --------- ------------------- Cart 05, plate 3519A, K20, MARVELS 49, 50 Cart 05, plate 3519B, K14, MARVELS 49, 50 Cart 01, plate 3084A, HAT-P-1, MARVELS 49, 50, 106, 107 Cart 04, plate 3078A, HD17156, MARVELS 49, 50 Caet 08, plate 3896A, HD37605, MARVELS 47, 48, 49, 50, 117, 118 Cart 07, plate 3638A, HD46375, MARVELS 49, 50 Cart 06, plate 3089A, FIELD1110, MARVELS 37, 38, 49, 50 Cart 06, plate 3089B, XO-2, MARVELS 49, 50 Cart 03, plate 3705A, HD88133, MARVELS 27, 28, 49, 50 Cart 04, plate 3078B, HD68988, MARVELS 31, 32, 49, 50, 51, 52, 89, 90 The locking ring for the MARVELS gang connector is very stiff again when plugged into the floor. When we mounted Cart 04, it sounded as though the north slithead was rubbing on the edge of the slit-head door. Cart 04 was left on the scope. While mounting Cart 08, its west side-cover fell off. It was reinstalled; all was normal. Later when we removed cart 08, however, the west side-cover came loose again and got jammed between the two carts. Then, the lift stopped working, so we switched to the manual side to fix the problem. The misbehaving cover is on the floor in the plug lab. We had two rot oscillations the start of the night. Since the MCP was recently rebooted, Steph reinstalled the PID values. At the end of the night, however, we had another (very strong) rot oscillation. Sorry Dan. I looked at the dimm; the CCD could not connect via the software. I sent Jon Brinkmann an email. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: --------- B1 triplet work continues. The new triplet is very pretty. B1 will be installed on the telescope tomorrow. 21:20Z - Craig asked for the sp1 serial line to be disconnected, so he could "futz with the micros". 22:52Z - ThAr on 23:21Z - Doors opened. Ventilation started. Cartridge 18 mounted. We tried to get a flat to read out on r1 with cartridge 18, but were colliding with Craig's work on the sp1 micro. We will try to get a cartridge 18 flat tomorrow, French. Actors alive and well, except for bosICC, which periodically threw a critical alert then came back alive. These alerts happened about the time Craig was working. Night: ----- 00:07Z Sunset 00:10Z Enclosure off, topped-off spectro secondary dewars, checked top/bottom balance, did a test slew, and checked fiducial crossings for each axis. 01:49Z Cart 05, plate 3519A, K20, MARVELS, GSOGTF.
