APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Friday January 4, 2008 (MJD 54470) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Viktor Malanushenko (days) Howard Brewington (observer) Audrey Simmons (observer) ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- The night was lost to clouds and/or high humidity. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: ---------- All equipment are checked and work properly. Spectro collimation set for +1C. Ventilation is started at 23:10Z. Cart 2 is mounted. Night: ------ 00:08Z Sunset 00:53Z We had radar returns just west of the site, and the humidity had increased to 79.7%. So, we waited for better conditions. 01:37Z Evening twilight 02:06Z Doors and louvers closed with fans off after humidity increased to > 80%. 03:30Z Doors and louvers opened with fans on after humidity decreased to < 80%. 03:50Z To prepare for opening, cart 02 was mounted. 04:02Z Doors and louvers closed with fans off after humidity increased to > 80%. 04:21Z We had orographic clouds over the site with increasing humidity. 11:45Z Moonrise 12:10Z endNight finished 12:43Z Morning twilight Misc Watcher Messages are posted in the Problems Section. ---=== IMAGING RUN SUMMARY ===--- Run Time Stripe Lambda Last Flavor Comments Start End Begin End Frame ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7269 21:41Z 22:07Z 100 O 138.41 144.91 54 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 48627, plate -9999 ------- 21:38 48627 0.0 bias ----- sequence 48628, plate 1631 ------- 22:06 48628 10.0 flat 22:09 48629 2.0 arc 22:20 48630 3.0 arc 22:23 48631 3.0 arc ----- sequence 48632, plate -9999 ------- 23:18 48632 0.0 bias ----- sequence 48633, plate 1631 ------- 23:26 48633 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 ===--- ---=== FOCUS LOG ===--- setmir piston Temp Wind Time Inst scale M1 M2 Foc Az Alt (C) MPH Dir filt fwhm ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 23:21Z 2 0 1.00000 0 1257 0 121 30.0 2.4 10 292 ---=== WEATHER LOG ===--- Wind Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust DIMM Sky 20:45Z 37 29 14 298 (WNW) 401 - 21:17Z 36 28 11 307 (NW) 287 - 21:48Z 36 27 7 281 (W) 268 - 22:18Z 38 27 12 279 (W) 470 - 22:49Z 38 26 10 296 (WNW) 313 - 23:44Z 34 26 7 279 (W) 542 - 00:14Z 33 26 12 291 (WNW) 454 - 00:44Z 33 27 18 273 (W) 812 - 01:14Z 33 28 18 285 (WNW) 927 - 01:45Z 33 28 16 269 (W) 821 - 02:15Z 33 28 16 269 (W) 860 - 02:45Z 33 27 20 270 (W) 751 - 03:17Z 33 27 19 266 (W) 785 - 03:50Z 32 27 20 259 (W) 681 - 04:22Z 33 27 12 258 (WSW) 740 - 04:54Z 32 27 18 275 (W) 594 - 05:26Z 32 28 18 283 (WNW) 504 - 05:58Z 32 28 15 274 (W) 451 - 06:30Z 32 29 19 271 (W) 448 - 07:03Z 32 30 22 274 (W) 487 - 07:35Z 32 30 18 274 (W) 489 - 08:07Z 32 30 22 275 (W) 373 - 08:39Z 33 30 27 255 (WSW) 251 - 09:11Z 33 30 16 272 (W) 283 - 09:44Z 32 31 20 264 (W) 356 - 10:16Z 33 31 18 267 (W) 262 - 10:48Z 33 31 22 272 (W) 336 - 11:21Z 33 30 15 262 (W) 486 - 11:53Z 33 29 16 258 (WSW) 549 - ---=== TELESCOPE STATUS ===--- 23:10Z - Began ventilation.
