APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Tuesday July 15, 2008 (MJD 54663) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Observer Steph Snedden Observer Viktor Malanushenko Visitor Ben Weaver from NYU ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- Tonight there were first night of SDSS-III. As thought specially for this we had one hour of quite clear sky. It was enought to obtained ten exposure for the plate 3007. The plate 3007 declared as done. We observed also plate 3015 (5 short exposures). The spectro dewar will need to be changed soon. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: ---------- Spectrographs are set for a temperature of 15C. We did not change the focus. The rest of afternoon checkout went smoothly with the exception of some zombie teamsters. They were dispatched, and new ones were started. Lightnings at the evening.
