APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Wednesday May 21, 2003 (MJD 52781) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- swing Daniel Long night Jurek Krzesinski, Steph Snedden Visitor: Howard Brewington ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- Not a bad night, 6 plates done, useful exposures on 1 plate. No imaging (variable seeing and mariginal weather conditions). We didn't have any problems tonight. It would be nice to have a short instruction about Apache Wheel: which spoke we can do, and which should_not be or has_been done already. Just in case a proper weather for apache wheel, will happen. Plates done: cart plate 1 1340 2 1318 3 1223 5 1312 7 1327 8 1332 Good two good exposures on (cart 4) plt 1174. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: ========== The PT dewpoint sensor has been re-calibrated and is reading correctly now. This afternoon the spectrographs were not refocused. The guider was refocused. The check frame looked soft, so a guiderFlat was taken and showed the dust as very soft. Things looked much improved after tweaking the focus a couple times. Imager dewar swapped at 00:00Z. Night: -------------- Clouds - started with spectroscopy. 02:32Z Cart 3 plt 1223, waiting for darker sky. 03:37Z After first exposure was done, we didn't hear any beep sound. And we didn't hear any beep at all on landru. Craig will take care about it tomorrow. Plate done with 3 exposures. 04:17Z Cart 5 plt 1312 mounted. Stars on slew. Done with 3 exposures. 05:31Z Cart 2 plt 1318 mounted. Stars on slew. Done with 3 exposures. Seeing is not good and we haven't enough time for imaging before Moon rise, we stayed with spectroscopy. 06:36Z Cart 7 plt 1327 mounted. Stars on slew. Done with 3 exposures. 07:43Z Cart 8 plt 1332 mounted. Stars on slew. Done with 3 exposures. 08:52Z Cart 1 plt 1340 mounted. Stars on slew. Done with 3 exposures. 10:13Z Cart 4 plt 1174 mounted. Stars on slew. Got two useful exposures on twilight. endNight finished ok. ---=== IMAGING RUN SUMMARY ===--- Run Time Stripe Lambda Last Flavor Comments Start End Begin End Frame ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3948 21:45Z 21:55Z 100 O -85.33 -82.75 31 ignore ---=== 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): YES QA Procedures Done (y/n): YES Bias levels and other comments: r2-L: 546 r2-R: 1486 hot col 1475.5 two fibers cut off at upper right ( low row, high col ) r1-L: 1157 r1-R: 1211 hot col 1152.5- 1153.5 two fibers cut off at upper right b2-L: 1221 b2-R: 1201 one fiber cut off at upper left b1-L: 1259 b1-R: 1018 high col 154.5 no fibers run off chip UT Exp Time flavor comment (S/N)^2 totals ========================================== b1 r1 b2 r2 ----- sequence 20999, plate 1223 ------- 21:45 20999 0.0 bias 22:02 21000 10.0 flat 22:09 21001 2.1 arc 22:11 21002 2.1 arc 22:18 21003 0.0 bias 01:06 21004 0.0 bias 03:11 21005 10.0 flat 03:14 21006 2.0 arc 03:33 21007 900.1 target 03:47 21008 600.1 target 04:00 21009 600.1 target 04:08 21010 240.0 smear ok. ----- sequence 21011, plate 1312 ------- 04:20 21011 10.0 flat 04:23 21012 2.0 arc 04:44 21013 900.1 target 04:57 21014 600.1 target 05:10 21015 600.1 target 05:18 21016 240.0 smear 05:21 21017 10.0 flat 05:23 21018 2.0 arc ok. ----- sequence 21019, plate 1318 ------- 05:37 21019 10.0 flat 05:39 21020 2.0 arc 05:54 21021 600.1 target 06:07 21022 600.1 target 06:21 21023 600.1 target 06:29 21024 240.0 smear ok. ----- sequence 21025, plate 1327 ------- 06:38 21025 10.0 flat 06:41 21026 2.0 arc 06:56 21027 600.1 target 07:09 21028 600.1 target 07:27 21029 900.1 target 07:35 21030 240.0 smear ok. ----- sequence 21031, plate 1332 ------- 07:45 21031 10.0 flat 07:47 21032 2.0 arc 08:02 21033 600.1 target 08:17 21034 720.1 target 08:36 21035 900.1 target 08:44 21036 240.0 smear ok. ----- sequence 21037, plate 1340 ------- 08:55 21037 10.0 flat 08:57 21038 2.0 arc 09:14 21039 720.1 target 09:32 21040 900.1 target 09:56 21041 1200.1 target 10:03 21042 240.0 smear ok. ----- sequence 21043, plate 1174 ------- 10:13 21043 10.0 flat 10:16 21044 2.0 arc 10:35 21045 900.1 target 10:53 21046 900.1 target ok. ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE I ===--- Time Instrument Az Alt Rot Scale pos offset pos offset pos offset ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 03:04Z 3 1223 -18.40 0.0036 65.88 0.0025 164.32 0.0090 1.000230 04:38Z 5 1312 207.58 0.0044 59.84 0.0028 46.21 -0.0123 1.000050 05:44Z 2 1318 207.40 0.0019 60.33 0.0014 45.43 0.0168 1.000040 06:47Z 7 1327 205.86 0.0041 67.29 0.0029 36.78 -0.0135 1.000090 09:01Z 1 1340 269.04 0.0044 73.41 0.0039 99.42 -0.0013 1.000160 10:20Z 4 1174 253.38 0.0026 58.13 0.0024 95.68 -0.0029 1.000150 ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE II ===--- ---=== DATA TAPE SUMMARY ===--- Goes: JL6413 Stays: JL6420 ---=== FOCUS LOG ===--- setmir piston Temp Wind Time Inst scale M1 M2 Foc Az Alt (C) MPH Dir filt fwhm ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 03:04Z 3 1223 1.00023 -2270 -1066 -325 -19 65.9 13.1 1 355 gdr 1.4 04:38Z 5 1312 1.00005 -493 419 -325 208 59.8 13.1 9 54 -/- 2.0 05:44Z 2 1318 1.00004 -394 599 -225 207 60.3 14.0 12 52 -
