APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Monday May 5, 2008 (MJD 54592) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Night: Elena Mlnushenko, Shannon Watters Swing: Kaike Pan ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- FINISH SLOAN DIGITAL SKY SURVEY I ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- The night started cloudy with thunderstorms nearby and creeping our way but the weather eventually improved and was photometric for most of the night. We finished the LAST 3 LEGACY PLATES IN OUR DATABASE and acquired signal on 2 SEGUE faint plates. We built up ~23k dust-hours with the humidity below 50% (except for 1 small spike around 06:30Z). ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: ----------- All Systems were checked, and were working properly. The spectro focus was set for 10.5 C. Cart 6 was mounted for the beginning of the night. Night: ------- 02:19Z CART 6, PLATE 2965, SEGUEFAINT189.
