APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Friday August 25, 2006 (MJD 53973) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Swing: Kaike Pan Night: Mike Harvanek Dan Long ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- We waited on clouds. We waited on rain. We waited on humidity. We now wait until tomorrow. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: ---------- During readout for the last PT bias frame, DA stop talking, MOP was rebooted.

The storms passed through during the first half of the night. Their clouds cleared out early in the second half, but their humidity never left and once clear, the temperature cooled to near the dewpoint. We never opened. 06:00Z Rain threat and humidity drops enough to start ventilating. 06:10Z East Door Open, Louvers Open, Fans On 07:45Z Humidity rises too high to continue ventilating. 07:50Z Doors Closed, Louvers Closed, Fans Off 09:50Z Endnight finished quickly and happily. ---=== IMAGING RUN SUMMARY ===--- Run Time Stripe Lambda Last Flavor Comments Start End Begin End Frame ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6277 23:04Z 23:21Z 100 O 29.18 33.46 43 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): QA Procedures Done (y/n): UT Exp Time flavor comment (S/N)^2 totals ========================================== b1 r1 b2 r2 ----- sequence 40481, plate -9999 ------- 23:14 40481 0.0 bias ----- sequence 40482, plate 2308 ------- 00:07 40482 10.0 flat 00:09 40483 2.0 arc 00:12 40484 2.1 arc 00:14 40485 2.1 arc 00:40 40486 2.1 arc 00:43 40487 2.1 arc 01:15 40488 2.1 arc 01:17 40489 2.1 arc ---=== 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 22:55Z 63 47 11 281 (W) 357 - Mostly Clear 23:27Z 65 47 9 260 (W) 326 - Partly Cloudy 23:57Z 63 48 9 268 (W) 325 - Partly Cloudy 00:28Z 63 48 4 244 (WSW) 346 - Partly Cloudy 01:00Z 59 49 7 227 (SW) 356 - Thunder 01:35Z 58 50 0 166 (SSE) 384 - Thunder 02:08Z 54 53 14 215 (SW) 608 - Thunderstorm 02:40Z 53 51 1 207 (SSW) 378 - Thunderstorm 03:12Z 52 51 12 40 (NE) 486 - Rain 03:45Z 51 49 17 61 (ENE) 449 - Rain 04:17Z 50 48 12 81 (E) 558 - Rain 04:49Z 50 48 11 80 (E) 566 - Cloudy 05:21Z 54 42 10 81 (E) 147 - Mostly Cloudy 05:53Z 56 46 0 16 (NNE) 274 - Mostly Cloudy 06:25Z 57 44 3 306 (NW) 201 - Mostly Cloudy 06:57Z 56 45 1 264 (W) 289 - Mostly Cloudy 07:30Z 55 46 5 193 (SSW) 232 - Partly Cloudy 08:02Z 52 47 5 182 (S) 275 - Mostly Cloudy 08:34Z 50 47 7 179 (S) 277 - Mostly Clear 09:06Z 50 47 0 122 (ESE) 325 - Mostly Clear 09:38Z 52 47 7 179 (S) 491 - Partly Cloudy ---=== TELESCOPE STATUS ===--- 06:10Z East Door Open, Louvers Open, Fans On 07:50Z Doors Closed, Louvers Closed, Fans Off Stowed at 30 deg alt, cartridge 9 installed.
