APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Sunday May 29, 2005 (MJD 53520) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Steph Snedden (swing) Howard Brewington Mike Harvanek ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- Completed imagerCal for QE: u4 Declared plate 1657 done and got some signal on plate 2174. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Swing shift: ----------- Removed the engcam, mounted cartridge 6, reset the camera driver, rebooted the guider mac and took a test exposure. Spectro focus results at the end of the log. Mamoru's calibration data is filling up data/photo/doi/calibdata. We compressed it. Mamoru, could you please move the files? Thanks. The rest of checkout was uneventful. Night: ------------ We had clouds as twilight ended, so we waited awhile for the sky to clear before starting imagerCals. Yet, we completed QE: u4 tonight. Details are given below: u4 QE: ------ Run # 5353 Frame # Comments ------- -------- 1 bias 1 2 bias 2 3 dark 1 4 dark 2 5 370. 0.0 6 370. -8.0 7 370. 8.0 8 360. 8.0 9 350. 8.0 10 340. 8.0 11 345. 8.0 12 355. 8.0 13 365. 8.0 14 375. 8.0 15 375. -8.0 16 375. -90.0 17 335. 15.0 18 330. 30.0 19 320. 90.0 20 310. 90.0 21 300. 90.0 22 305. 90.0 23 315. 90.0 24 325. 45.0 25 325. -90.0 26 385. 15.0 27 395. 45.0 28 405. 90.0 29 415. 90.0 30 410. 90.0 31 400. 90.0 32 390. 30.0 33 380. 15.0 34 380. -90.0 35 380. 0.0 All data and analysis are stored in /data/photo/doi/calibdata. 08:00Z Cart 04, plate 1657 (chunk82). Had to use an Fk5 to find the field. We got the following error as Mike started the science exposure. sp1> SOPGUI: goStare 0 -bias -plateId 1657 sp1 cameraNag {} t-g-sdss-2.apo.nmsu.edu 2200 sp2 cameraNag {} t-g-sdss-2.apo.nmsu.edu 2200 2005-05-30 08:24:15Z: Camera sp1 not idle: "error writing "file9": Bad file" Flushing charge for 15 sec 2005-05-30 08:24:44Z: Camera sp1 not idle: "error writing "file9": Bad file" mcpPut: SYSTEM.STATUS appending BEGIN appending END EXPOSURE TIME is: 0 sp1 cameraNag {} t-g-sdss-2.apo.nmsu.edu 2200 sp2 cameraNag {} t-g-sdss-2.apo.nmsu.edu 2200 2005-05-30 08:24:51Z: sp1 is not idle...aborting 2005-05-30 08:24:51Z: sp1 has status error writing "file9": Bad file 2005-05-30 08:24:51Z: beginData has failed: sp1 is not idle...aborting; sp1 has status error writin g "file9": Bad file Mike did a grabInst -drop and a grabInst, which solved the problem. Cart 04, plate 1657 was completed in four exposures. SOS reported five Max sky-residuals. 10:05Z Cart 01, plate 2174 (segue117). An Fk5 was used to locate the field. Completed one exposure before twilight started. SOS reported lots of Whopping fibers, Bad sky residuals, and so on for this plate. endNight finished and was happy. ---=== IMAGING RUN SUMMARY ===--- Run Time Stripe Lambda Last Flavor Comments Start End Begin End Frame ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5354 08:06Z 08:20Z 100 O 78.65 82.25 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): y QA Procedures Done (y/n): y UT Exp Time flavor comment (S/N)^2 totals ========================================== b1 r1 b2 r2 ----- sequence 32859, plate -9999 ------- 00:24 32859 0.0 bias ----- sequence 32860, plate 1827 ------- 00:31 32860 10.0 flat 00:33 32861 2.0 arc 00:42 32862 2.1 arc 00:45 32863 2.1 arc 01:11 32864 2.1 arc 01:13 32865 2.1 arc 01:25 32866 10.0 flat 01:27 32867 2.0 arc ----- sequence 32868, plate -9999 ------- 02:35 32868 0.0 bias 03:10 32869 0.0 bias ----- sequence 32870, plate 1657 ------- 08:05 32870 0.0 bias 08:28 32871 0.0 bias 08:31 32872 10.0 flat 08:34 32873 2.0 arc 08:48 32874 600.1 target 09:11 32875 1200.1 target 09:34 32876 1200.2 target 09:52 32877 900.1 target ----- sequence 32878, plate 2174 ------- 10:09 32878 10.0 flat 10:12 32879 2.0 arc 10:36 32880 1200.2 target ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE I ===--- Time Instrument Az Alt Rot Scale pos offset pos offset pos offset ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE II ===--- ---=== DATA TAPE SUMMARY ===--- Goes: JL 8586 Stays: JL 8587 ---=== FOCUS LOG ===--- setmir piston Temp Wind Time Inst scale M1 M2 Foc Az Alt (C) MPH Dir filt fwhm ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 03:12Z 6 1827 1.00000 0 1257 0 121 30.0 10.9 7 306 ---=== WEATHER LOG ===--- Wind Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust DIMM Sky 23:57Z 56 31 6 295 (WNW) 741 - 00:30Z 51 31 0 359 (NNW) 888 - 01:02Z 51 31 7 359 (NNW) 864 - 01:34Z 51 31 13 23 (NNE) 765 - 02:06Z 50 31 9 2 (N) 693 - 02:39Z 51 31 10 350 (NNW) 635 - 03:35Z 52 31 7 305 (NW) 476 - 04:08Z 53 31 6 272 (W) 572 - 04:39Z 51 31 7 266 (W) 623 - 05:12Z 51 30 11 235 (SW) 605 - 05:44Z 51 31 5 262 (W) 448 - 06:16Z 50 31 7 240 (WSW) 398 - 06:49Z 51 31 8 227 (SW) 443 - 07:21Z 50 31 7 240 (WSW) 595 - 07:53Z 50 31 7 269 (W) 514 - 08:25Z 50 27 4 269 (W) 629 - 08:55Z 50 31 8 270 (W) 608 - 09:26Z 49 26 6 271 (W) 693 - 09:58Z 49 31 7 271 (W) 732 - 10:28Z 48 31 7 282 (WNW) 610 - 10:59Z 48 31 9 312 (NW) 779 - ---=== TELESCOPE STATUS ===--- telescope at 121,30,00 mount LN2 connected and turned on. spectro was forced filled.
