APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Saturday September 23, 2006 (MJD 54002) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Swing: Elena Malanushenko Night: Stephanie Snedden, Howard Brewington ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- superNova Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- Clouds and high humidity; we did not open. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon Checkout: 01:00 Z. Heavy clouds, possible rain tonight, non photometric. The temperature is around 8.8C, wind up to 13 mph, humidity 79%. All systems are checked and work fine. Spectro focus has been checked and I left it good for T=9.5C as we do not plan spectroscopy tonight. The spectro bias, flat, and arc look normal. Night: --------- We had high humidity and clouds at sunset. So, we mounted the imager while we waited for better conditions. High humidity and/or clouds remained all night; we never opened. endNight finished and was happy. Misc watcher messages are posted in the problems sections. ---=== IMAGING RUN SUMMARY ===--- Run Time Stripe Lambda Last Flavor Comments Start End Begin End Frame ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6388 22:48Z 23:18Z 100 O 53.75 61.43 65 ignore 6389 01:54Z 02:11Z 100 O 100.46 104.73 43 bias ---=== IMAGING RUN DETAILS ===--- Run 6389: On telescope bias after twilight ended. ---=== 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 UT Exp Time flavor comment (S/N)^2 totals ========================================== b1 r1 b2 r2 ----- sequence 40752, plate -9999 ------- 22:02 40752 0.0 bias ----- sequence 40753, plate 2556 ------- 22:21 40753 10.0 flat postcalibration 22:23 40754 2.0 arc 22:27 40755 2.1 arc goSpecFoc 22:29 40756 2.1 arc ----- sequence 40757, plate -9999 ------- 01:20 40757 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 20:00Z 49 39 4 246 (WSW) 1068 - 20:32Z 51 39 15 287 (WNW) 630 - 21:04Z 50 40 19 274 (W) 710 - 21:36Z 50 39 14 289 (WNW) 706 - 22:06Z 52 40 19 307 (NW) 656 - 22:38Z 49 39 14 272 (W) 547 - 23:09Z 50 40 11 253 (WSW) 589 - 23:39Z 49 40 11 303 (WNW) 609 - 00:11Z 48 41 10 277 (W) 636 - 00:43Z 49 41 8 269 (W) 663 - 01:37Z 47 41 8 282 (WNW) 707 - 02:09Z 47 41 7 279 (W) 801 - 02:41Z 47 41 2 262 (W) 732 - 03:14Z 47 41 7 229 (SW) 856 - 03:46Z 47 41 2 259 (W) 876 - 04:18Z 47 41 8 237 (WSW) 861 - 04:50Z 46 41 0 199 (SSW) 849 - 05:22Z 47 41 5 180 (S) 791 - 05:54Z 46 41 2 184 (S) 847 - 06:27Z 46 41 1 150 (SSE) 730 - 06:59Z 44 41 6 102 (ESE) 738 - 07:31Z 42 35 11 85 (E) 814 - 08:03Z 39 37 18 110 (ESE) 789 - 08:35Z 38 35 17 98 (E) 723 - 09:11Z 38 36 13 73 (ENE) 740 - 09:44Z 36 36 15 74 (ENE) 449 - 10:16Z 38 37 2 89 (E) 408 - ---=== TELESCOPE STATUS ===--- 00:30Z Doors Open, Fans On - started ventillation. 01:00Z Doors and louvers closed, fans off as humidity climbed. 01:41Z Doors and louvers open, fans on. 04:01Z Doors and louvers closed, fans off as humidity climbed again.
