APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Thursday October 9, 2008 (MJD 54749) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Viktor Malanushenko Elena Malanushenko Steph Snedden - help Scott Fleming (UFL) Nathan Delee (UFL) ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- It was cloudy the most of last night. We observed some MARVELS plates: preMarvels: -- Cart 2 plate 3025, Field-B 9 exp by 12 sec. postMarvels: -- Cart.5 plate 3055, Field-A 2 exp by 40 min -- Cart.5 plate 3055, Field-B 1 exp by 40 min -- Cart 9 plate 3060, Field-A 2 exp by 20 min Segue: Cart 7 plate 3121 obtained good signal. Dimm does not track star properly. Had problem with guiding of Marvels plates. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: ---------- The telescope is checked and all systems worked properly. Spectral collimation set for about 10C using cart 7. 00:01Z - Started ventilating with doors and louvers open, fans on. Night: ------ It was some clouds, ~12C, 00:40Z. Enclosure is off. DIMM does not work properly. The Polaris moved out off field. We tried several times and closed it. Cart 2, plate 3025, Filed A Used FK5 to find the guider stars. We had several problems with guider again similar to the problems occurred the night before. TCC output show that guider exposures were failed. The MCP and Guider Mac have been rebooted and guider exposures could be read again. Stephanie helped us to research and to fix the problem. We still think that network is working not good as we have some delays with responses. We could not continue to make observations of field-A for this plate and go to the next task. 03:10Z, Cart 2, plate 3025, Field-B, marvelPre. Edited map file where removed "B". FSonGTF, T~11C, seeing 03:03 preCalibs 03:13 -- 9 science observations with 12 sec exposure 03:45 postCalibs 03:55 Cart 5 plate 3055, post-Marvels, A-field FSonGTF Observations were done by Marvels team The clouds began to form right under us. We tried to set Field B for observations. LoadCart worked with some errors. GotoField created similar guider error about different size of guider image and guider dark. The switch to simple guider mode helped. -------- sp1> loadCart 5 3055 -query /linuxp/prd/iop/v4_39_0/params/cartridgeInfo.par Please choose one of the plugmap files below (-1 to escape) Choice Filename 0 /data/spectro/plugMapM/plPlugMapM-3055-54738-01.par 1 /data/spectro/plugMapM/plPlugMapM-3055B-54738-01.par 1 Reading /data/spectro/plugMapM/plPlugMapM-3055B-54738-01.par Taking absolute values of GUIDE fiberId Taking absolute values of ALIGNMENT fiberId Coordinates are 5.16700000 31.89000000 Starting weather Handler 0 sp1> 2008-10-10 06:48:36Z: Using da centroider because flat does not exist 2008-10-10 06:48:36Z: Using da centroider because flattener does not exist 2008-10-10 06:48:36Z: Using da centroider because maskdark does not exist 2008-10-10 06:48:36Z: Using da centroider because dark does not exist 2008-10-10 06:48:36Z: Using da centroider because mask does not exist 2008-10-10 06:48:36Z: Using da centroider because fiberData does not exist ------- sp1> SOPGUI: gotoField -gflat mcpPut: SYSTEM.STATUS No longer issuing axis init, please do one beforehand mcpPut: sp1 slitheadlatch.close sp2 slitheadlatch.close Assuming equinox is J2000 I think LST is: 15.6773 I think that we haven't started slewing To kill this message, type 'schedule watchTCCSlew {} 0' Performing a guiderFlat ...Closing Flat Field Screen mcpPut: ffs.select 3 ffs.close ...Turning calibration lamps on mcpPut: ffl.on mcpPut: SYSTEM.STATUS 4 FF lamps are on I think that we haven't started slewing To kill this message, type 'schedule watchTCCSlew {} 0' I think that the slew has started I think that the slew has started I think that the slew has started I think that the slew has started I think that the slew is finished Saved 30.0 seconds Opening Petals and turning off flat field lamps mcpPut: ffs.select 3 ffs.open mcpPut: ffl.off Image Size is 384 by 256 (should be 768 x 512) loading /data/spectro/guiderDarks/dark-20-54713.fits Error: GMAKEHIST: Flat exposure is too faint.
