APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Monday March 31, 2003 (MJD 52730) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Swinging observer: Atsuko Nitta Night hawks: Dan Long, Pete Newman Support structure: Steph Snedden (Testing NewDimm) Trailering observer: Howard Brewington ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Science. ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- Imaging all night. Strips covered: 27S -16 <= lambda <= +12 13S -16 <= lambda <= +26 13N 0 <= lambda <= +22.7 The /astrolog/52730/idReport-52730.par file is incomplete for the last imaging run - see problem section #2. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon --------- Since the imager was on the scope, I did not check the spectro focus. The afternoon imager bias should be good valid bias since it was taken in the dark enclosure on the telescope. There was a problem with the backup relay server in SOP. See problem section #1. Night ----- Imaged all night. A hopefully minor problem with endDrift on the last run (see problem section #2). We lost the last half hour before morning twilight to bad seeing at which point there was nothing else worth attempting. endNight is running as this log is being mailed. ---=== IMAGING RUN SUMMARY ===--- Run Time Stripe Lambda Last Flavor Comments Start End Begin End Frame ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3839 23:05Z 23:21Z 100 O -115.52 -111.52 41 bias Mounted, enclosure 3840 02:13Z 05:02Z 27 S -25.60 16.57 293 science 3841 05:04Z 08:24Z 13 S -19.52 30.52 347 science 3842 08:30Z 11:10Z 13 N -3.1 35.4 266 science The last entry above is faked from observer's notes - see problem section #2. ---=== IMAGING RUN DETAILS ===--- Run 3939: Bias, T-bars unlatched, on telescope, in darkened enclosure ++++++++++++++++++++++++ Run 3840: Science, 27S, -16 <= lambda <= +12 Started the run ~30 min before 18 deg twilight to get set up and hit the ramp at 18 deg twilight.

The same IOP version has been used for many days now and I have not seen this this dark run. So I am quite puzzled. Dropping the instrument and re-grabbing it did not reproduce the error.

We suspect this is a Macintosh application issue, not related IOP. In any case, it meant there was no automatic log entry for that run, and the /astrolog/52730/idReport-52730.par file is incomplete. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
