APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Friday October 10, 2008 (MJD 54750) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Elena Malanushenko Dmitry Bizyaev Scott Fleming Nathan De Lee ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Science ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- We were hit by a stream from Hurricane Norbert, and night was lost due to clouds, rain, high humidity. We're sending this log before 6:00 EST because of a message from Jim that Princeton's servers all will be down at that time for the whole day. If we have further problems, or chance to open between now and twilight, you will see the second log. If not - you will not. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: ---------- The telescope is checked and all systems worked properly. Spectral collimation set for about 8C using cart 7, we did not adjust. ntp_check ok iccSoundOff ok imager bias ok spectro bias ok Filename 02% 05% 10% 50% 90% 95% 98% ------------------- ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ sdR-b1-00055412.fit -5.4 -4.3 -2.9 2.3 7.6 8.9 11.1 sdR-b2-00055412.fit -7.6 -6.1 -3.8 1.3 7.4 8.8 11.1 sdR-r1-00055412.fit -6.2 -4.9 -3.2 1.8 7.8 9.2 11.4 sdR-r2-00055412.fit -7.9 -5.8 -4.6 1.5 7.8 9.9 12.0 All calib lamps were normally coming. 00:05Z - Started ventilation. Guider stopped working after a few test exposures. Guider Mac was rebooted. It fixed the problem. Night: ------ After sunset we have dangerousrunning clouds, approaching radar returns and "yellow" wind alert, in combination with 40% percent probability of rain forecast. We postpone opening for a while. The MARVELS team found one dropped off fiber in cart. 9. Cart was taken off the rack, Scott and Nathan fixed the fiber. 05:50Z - rain begins. Ventilation stopped. No any progress in weather during the night. ---=== IMAGING RUN SUMMARY ===--- 7732 23:28Z 23:53Z 100 O 81.08 87.42 46 bias ---=== IMAGING RUN DETAILS ===--- ---=== SKIPPY RESULTS ===--- ---=== LTMATCH RESULTS ===--- ---=== SPECTROSCOPY DATA SUMMARY ===--- ----- sequence 55412, plate -9999 ------- 23:12 55412 0.0 bias ----- sequence 55413, plate 3121 ------- 23:24 55413 10.0 flat 23:26 55414 2.0 arc 23:31 55415 3.0 arc 23:34 55416 2.0 arc ----- sequence 55417, plate -9999 ------- 00:38 55417 0.0 bias ----- sequence 55417, plate 3121 ------- 01:35 55418 12.0 science 01:39 55419 12.0 science 01:42 55420 12.0 science 01:49 55421 0.0 bias ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE I ===--- ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE II ===--- ---=== FOCUS LOG ===--- ---=== WEATHER LOG ===--- 23:40Z 54 41 30 225 (SW) 1028 - 00:12Z 53 41 25 225 (SW) 1062 - thick clouds 00:48Z 52 41 22 207 (SSW) 1183 - '' 01:20Z 52 41 26 216 (SW) 1032 - '' 01:51Z 53 42 21 198 (SSW) 1014 - '' 02:22Z 53 42 26 203 (SSW) 1065 - '' 02:54Z 52 42 22 225 (SW) 1041 - '' 03:26Z 52 41 18 225 (SW) 1026 - '' 03:58Z 52 42 20 214 (SW) 948 - '' 04:30Z 52 41 15 205 (SSW) 871 - '' 05:03Z 52 42 15 224 (SW) 904 - '' 05:33Z 52 42 16 212 (SSW) 993 - '' 06:03Z 50 44 25 211 (SSW) 1018 - '' 06:33Z 47 47 22 218 (SW) 1450 - '' 07:03Z 47 46 17 192 (SSW) 891 - '' 07:34Z 47 46 19 216 (SW) 967 - '' 08:06Z 47 47 7 192 (SSW) 1116 - '' 08:38Z 47 47 12 211 (SSW) 1038 - '' 09:11Z 47 46 18 210 (SSW) 900 - '' 09:43Z 47 46 17 200 (SSW) 853 - '' ---=== TELESCOPE STATUS ===--- 00:52Z - Began ventilation.
