APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Saturday October 8, 2005 (MJD 53652) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Swing: John Barentine Night: Kaike Pan Steph Snedden ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- An another damp night. The outside walls of 2.5m enclosure were wet and never dried out. We never opened. we got a set of dithered flats with cart 7 on. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon --------- Further testing of the logTool situation: today I did a cleanupMurmur before doing anything else, particularly logTool. No dropped info today (so far). No problems during checkout. After removing files per John Hendry'd email, disk space stands at: sdsshost2: 63% used, 39G available on /home sdssfiles1: 35% used, 895G available on /data1 Night ----- 3:30z: We took a set of a dithered flats with cart 7 on. They are frames 34176 -- 34190. Two arcs frames are 34191 and 34192. after dithered flats taken, the collimator mirror positions are: sp1: sp2: Coll_motor_A -2525 A: 4117 Coll_motor_B -2525 B: 1065 Coll_motor_C -2024 C: 1618 The humidity dripped down to a point where we felt that we could open (we started the enclosure ventilation at about 10:00Z) althouth it was not very stable at 10:30Z, but there was no enough time for us to get useful data. endNight rejoiced. ---=== IMAGING RUN SUMMARY ===--- Run Time Stripe Lambda Last Flavor Comments Start End Begin End Frame ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5704 21:07Z 21:33Z 100 O 42.63 49.23 55 ignore Doghouse bias ---=== 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): QA Procedures Done (y/n): UT Exp Time flavor comment (S/N)^2 totals ========================================== b1 r1 b2 r2 23:00 34158 0.0 bias ----- sequence 34159, plate 2258 ------- 23:07 34159 10.0 flat 23:09 34160 2.0 arc 23:15 34161 2.1 arc 23:17 34162 2.1 arc 23:30 34163 2.1 arc 23:32 34164 2.1 arc ----- sequence 34165, plate -9999 ------- 00:08 34165 0.0 bias 02:29 34166 0.0 bias 02:34 34167 0.0 bias ----- sequence 34168, plate 2060 ------- 02:42 34168 10.0 flat 02:44 34169 2.0 arc 02:55 34170 2.1 arc 02:57 34171 2.1 arc 03:38 34172 0.0 bias ----- sequence 34173, plate 2060 ------- 03:52 34174 10.0 flat 03:54 34175 2.0 arc 04:03 34176 10.0 flat 04:08 34177 10.0 flat 04:11 34178 10.0 flat 04:15 34179 10.0 flat 04:19 34180 10.0 flat 04:23 34181 10.0 flat 04:27 34182 10.0 flat 04:30 34183 10.0 flat 04:34 34184 10.0 flat 04:38 34185 10.0 flat 04:42 34186 10.0 flat 04:46 34187 10.0 flat 04:49 34188 10.0 flat 04:53 34189 10.0 flat 04:57 34190 10.0 flat 05:01 34191 2.0 arc 05:03 34192 2.0 arc ----- sequence 34193, plate -9999 ------- 06:30 34193 0.0 bias ----- sequence 34194, plate 2060 ------- 06:34 34194 0.0 bias ----- sequence 34195, plate -9999 ------- 06:40 34195 0.0 bias 06:44 34196 0.0 bias ----- sequence 34197, plate 2060 ------- 06:48 34197 0.0 bias ---=== 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 Stays: JL ---=== FOCUS LOG ===--- setmir piston Temp Wind Time Inst scale M1 M2 Foc Az Alt (C) MPH Dir filt fwhm ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---=== WEATHER LOG ===--- Wind Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust DIMM Sky 21:25Z 51 44 1 239 (WSW) -9999 - 21:57Z 48 44 5 253 (WSW) -9999 - 22:29Z 50 45 1 217 (SW) -9999 - 22:59Z 50 44 4 246 (WSW) -9999 - 23:29Z 48 44 1 248 (WSW) -9999 - 00:21Z 48 42 0 318 (NW) -9999 - 01:18Z 47 41 4 271 (W) -9999 - 01:50Z 47 41 7 283 (WNW) -9999 - 02:22Z 47 41 1 261 (W) -9999 - 02:54Z 47 40 2 266 (W) -9999 - 03:27Z 47 39 1 265 (W) -9999 - 03:59Z 47 39 1 210 (SSW) -9999 - 04:35Z 48 38 7 272 (W) -9999 - 05:08Z 47 40 6 266 (W) -9999 - 05:40Z 47 40 6 279 (W) -9999 - 06:12Z 47 39 8 290 (WNW) -9999 - 06:42Z 47 40 8 270 (W) -9999 - 07:12Z 47 40 7 283 (WNW) -9999 - 07:43Z 46 40 8 277 (W) -9999 - 08:15Z 46 40 8 279 (W) -9999 - 08:47Z 46 40 2 296 (WNW) -9999 - 09:19Z 46 39 9 313 (NW) -9999 - 09:51Z 47 39 7 321 (NW) -9999 - 10:24Z 47 36 10 319 (NW) -9999 - 10:56Z 47 38 10 346 (NNW) -9999 - 11:28Z 46 39 8 333 (NNW) -9999 - 12:00Z 48 40 7 6 (N) -9999 - 12:32Z 47 41 8 3 (N) -9999 - 13:05Z 48 40 5 357 (NNW) -9999 - 13:37Z 48 40 5 357 (NNW) -9999 - 14:09Z 49 39 7 0 (N) -9999 - 14:41Z 50 38 10 16 (NNE) -9999 - 15:13Z 51 38 9 26 (NNE) -9999 - 15:46Z 51 36 13 31 (NNE) -9999 - 16:18Z 52 36 3 5 (N) -9999 - 16:50Z 52 36 5 284 (WNW) -9999 - 17:22Z 53 37 4 312 (NW) -9999 - 17:54Z 54 39 8 273 (W) -9999 - 18:27Z 56 39 12 281 (W) -9999 - 18:59Z 55 37 15 298 (WNW) -9999 - 19:31Z 55 35 11 301 (WNW) -9999 - ---=== TELESCOPE STATUS ===--- 00:40Z - Started ventilating enclosure.

Actual dewpoint temperature ------------------------------- 3.5m sensor saying 5.4 C while PT sensor saying -0.9 C. The difference might have led the difference in humidity reads: 83% from 3.5m sensor, 52% from PT one. Because some condensations were found in the doors of 2.5m, it looks that 3.5m sensor gave more accurate measurements. grabInst -handkers 900 ------------------------ Kaike grabed the instrument and dropped it, Steph could not grabe it if she ran SOP session as herself. We tried, as experiments, several times, and got the same results. But if she started SOP from observer account, there was no problem to grabInst. endNight permission problem ---------------------------- Steph ran endNight from an iop session started as snedden, not observer. endNight failed with a permissions problem at: Finished checking spectro files on disk.
