APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Thursday January 11, 2007 (MJD 54112) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Viktor Malanushenko Olena Malanushenko Mike Harvanek (swing) ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- We had high humidity and heavy clouds for all night. We tried to open but had to close again. No observations. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: ---------- The 90 degree alt fiducial read in both directions for the 2nd day in a row. Looks like the problem is fixed. Thanks day crew. Spectro collimation was not adjusted. Details are in the Problems section. No problems to report. Night: ------ Clouds - overcast. High humidity 97%, Diff 0.6 C, Dust 650, Wind 22 mph, Temp 2 C. 00:00 Z. Delay with ventillation, openning of Cloud Cam and PT because high humidity and heavy clouds. Wait. Cart 3 plate 2635 is mounted to observe for 00:23 - 03:35 Z 8:15 Z Humidity is down, and Difference is increased up to 5.0. We mounted cart 8 and started ventillation. 8:30 Z Open enclosure Cart 8, plate 2670. Used FK5 to find the guider stars 9:06 Precal Humidity is up and Diff dropped below 3.0, sp we went to field and have to close. 9:25 Z Closed telescope and stopped ventillation. Wait. We did not open again. Clouds and high humidity. endNight is complete. ---=== IMAGING RUN SUMMARY ===--- Run Time Stripe Lambda Last Flavor Comments Start End Begin End Frame ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6669 21:59Z 22:15Z 100 O 149.91 153.94 41 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 UT Exp Time flavor comment (S/N)^2 totals ========================================== b1 r1 b2 r2 ----- sequence 42442, plate -9999 ------- 21:58 42442 0.0 bias ----- sequence 42443, plate 2635 ------- 22:57 42443 10.0 flat 22:59 42444 2.0 arc ----- sequence 42445, plate -9999 ------- 23:12 42445 0.0 bias 23:51 42446 0.0 bias ----- sequence 42447, plate 2670 ------- 09:09 42447 10.0 flat 09:11 42448 2.0 arc ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE I ===--- Time Instrument Az Alt Rot Scale pos offset pos offset pos offset ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE II ===--- ---=== 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 21:00Z 34 34 18 223 (SW) 407 - 21:32Z 34 33 17 248 (WSW) 529 - 22:03Z 35 33 22 229 (SW) 606 - 22:34Z 35 33 20 242 (WSW) 633 - 23:04Z 35 34 14 227 (SW) 627 - overcast 23:35Z 35 34 14 216 (SW) 615 - 00:08Z 35 34 17 213 (SSW) 651 - 00:39Z 35 34 22 212 (SSW) 636 - 01:11Z 35 33 21 208 (SSW) 750 - 01:44Z 36 33 23 211 (SSW) 830 - 02:16Z 36 33 21 240 (WSW) 818 - 02:48Z 36 32 19 218 (SW) 861 - 03:20Z 36 33 17 210 (SSW) 910 - 03:52Z 36 32 18 214 (SW) 834 - 04:23Z 36 32 20 216 (SW) 806 - 04:55Z 36 32 20 216 (SW) 813 - 05:27Z 36 33 22 217 (SW) 818 - 05:59Z 36 33 20 213 (SSW) 877 - 06:31Z 35 32 23 212 (SSW) 852 - 07:04Z 35 31 24 221 (SW) 864 - 07:36Z 34 30 19 215 (SW) 924 - 08:08Z 35 27 20 223 (SW) 659 - 08:40Z 34 26 27 219 (SW) 582 - 09:12Z 33 28 25 235 (SW) 649 - 09:42Z 32 28 21 233 (SW) 798 - 10:12Z 32 29 19 262 (W) 837 - 10:42Z 33 29 19 252 (WSW) 848 - 11:13Z 32 29 17 247 (WSW) 870 - 11:45Z 31 29 16 235 (SW) 878 - ---=== TELESCOPE STATUS ===--- 08:15Z Enclosure doors opened, fans and blowers on, louvers opened. 08:30 Z Opened 09:25 Closed telescope and stopped ventillation.
