APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Monday December 15, 2008 (MJD 54816) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Howard Brewington Audrey Simmons Kaike Pan (swing) Nathan DeLee (UF) JiWei Xie (UF) Support: Jon Brinkmann ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- First half of the night was lost due to heavy clouds. During the second half, MARVELS observed: Cart 3, plate 3077B Cart 5, plate 3086A&B Cart 6, plate 3163 Cart 1, plate 3090A host2 was rebooted during afternoon checkout. Note to engineers: Would you please unlock the toolboxes that are near the telescope? Thank you. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: ---------- Uptime shows that host2 has been up for 69 days. So we rebooted it this evening. After rebooted sdsshost2, a clenupMurmur should be done. Files were not transfered to the disk, teamster on both spectro and imager were killed and restarted, files started to transfer then. Spectro focus was set for about 1 C. Night: ------ 23:55Z - Sunset. 00:35Z - Mounted cart 2, segue plate 3105. 00:40Z - Opened enclosure to partly cloudy skies. Nasty clouds to the northwest of us delayed us slightly. ** 01:10Z - goToField cart 2, segue plate 3105. Used fk5 star with offsets. 01:20Z - Precals. 01:27Z - Evening twilight. 01:27Z - 25 min exposure. Seeing 1.1" Lots of clouds. 19% efficiency for most of the exposure. Declared BAD. 02:00Z - Closed enclosure. Thick nasty clouds were on top of us. ** 06:00Z - Opened enclosure. The clouds started to break up. Mounted cart 3. 06:01Z - MARVELS cals. 06:13Z - goToField cart 3, MARVELS plate 3077A. Too many clouds. 06:48Z - goToField cart 3, MARVELS plate 3077B. Found guide stars with an fk5 with a spiralPattern in fiber 9. 06:49Z - MARVLES cals. 07:01Z - 50 min MARVELS exposure. Seeing 1.6" ** 07:55Z - Mounted cart 5, MARVELS plate 3086A. Had to change plugMapM file to the correct cartridge number. 07:56Z - MARVELS cals. 08:10Z - goToField. Used fk5. Photometric skies. 08:21Z - MARVELS 50 min exposure. Seeing 1.6" ** 09:13Z - MARVELS cals. 09:14Z - gotoField cart 5, MARVELS plate 3086B. Used fk5 star to find field. 09:26Z - MARVELS 50 min exposure. Seeing 1.7" 10:20Z - MARVELS cals. ** 10:30Z - Mounted cart 6, MARVELS-preselection plate 3163. Used fk5 to find field. 10:41Z - Precals. startGuider failed. Guider stopped updating. Nothing abnormal with the mac, but we rebooted it anyway, but nothing changed. A few minutes later, it started working on its own. Very strange. 11:03Z - 2x12 sec exposures. Seeing 1.8" 11:09Z - 3x20 sec exposures. 11:10Z - MARVELS cals. ** 11:25Z - Mounted cart 1, MARVELS plate 3090A. Howard's sop session crashed. Had to edit the cartidge IDs for both the A and B plugMapM files. 11:37Z - MARVELS 50 min exposure. Seeing 1.2" 12:31Z - MARVELS cals. 12:31Z - Morning twilight. 12:42Z - Closed enclosure and stopped ventilating. 12:49Z - endNight rejoiced. ---=== IMAGING RUN SUMMARY ===--- Run Time Stripe Lambda Last Flavor Comments Start End Begin End Frame ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7856 22:09Z 22:29Z 100 O 126.29 131.42 47 ignore 7858 23:21Z 12:33Z 100 O 144.45 -17.13 16 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 57299, plate 3122 ------- 01:04 57299 0.0 bias ----- sequence 57300, plate -9999 ------- 01:07 57300 0.0 bias ----- sequence 57301, plate 3105 ------- 01:22 57301 10.0 flat 01:25 57302 2.0 arc 01:54 57303 1500.0 target ----- sequence 57304, plate 3163 ------- 10:44 57304 10.0 flat 10:47 57305 2.0 arc 11:05 57306 13.0 target 11:08 57307 13.0 target 11:12 57308 21.0 target 11:15 57309 21.0 target 11:18 57310 21.0 target ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE I ===--- Time Instrument Az Alt Rot Scale pos offset pos offset pos offset ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 01:31Z 2 3105 8.76 0.0010 46.93 -0.0010 187.46 0.0288 0.999980 07:04Z 3 3077 229.12 -0.0047 53.70 -0.0033 79.14 0.0224 0.999900 08:22Z 5 3086 285.89 -0.0038 56.46 -0.0007 121.30 0.0024 1.000020 09:26Z 5 3086 199.44 -0.0032 59.92 -0.0050 34.13 0.0033 0.999930 11:09Z 6 3163 -57.57 -0.0026 47.26 0.0012 134.57 0.0046 1.000030 11:37Z 1 3090 204.98 -0.0118 69.76 -0.0035 34.00 0.0090 1.000080 ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE II ===--- ---=== FOCUS LOG ===--- setmir piston Temp Wind Time Inst scale M1 M2 Foc Az Alt (C) MPH Dir filt fwhm ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 01:31Z 2 3105 0.99998 198 1685 330 9 46.9 1.6 30 193 - 1.1 07:04Z 3 3077 0.99990 986 2176 190 229 53.7 0.5 23 203 - 1.6 08:22Z 5 3086 1.00002 -196 1098 100 286 56.5 0.7 28 213 - 1.6 09:26Z 5 3086 0.99993 690 1825 100 199 59.9 0.4 28 211 - 1.7 11:09Z 6 3163 1.00003 -295 1169 225 -58 47.3 0.5 31 228 - 1.8 11:37Z 1 3090 1.00008 -789 627 150 205 69.8 0.0 25 213 - 1.2 ---=== WEATHER LOG ===--- Wind Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust DIMM Sky 22:24Z 36 27 23 230 (SW) 1317 - Clear 01:37Z 35 24 31 199 (SSW) 1277 - Cloudy 02:09Z 35 24 32 201 (SSW) 1364 - " 02:41Z 35 23 29 198 (SSW) 1313 - " 03:14Z 35 24 26 201 (SSW) 1519 - " 03:44Z 35 24 22 209 (SSW) 1500 - " 04:14Z 34 23 20 198 (SSW) 1553 - " 04:44Z 34 23 23 220 (SW) 1428 - " 05:14Z 34 23 22 213 (SSW) 1327 - " 05:44Z 34 21 25 215 (SW) 1371 - " 06:14Z 32 22 21 221 (SW) 1268 - " 06:47Z 33 22 22 212 (SSW) 1160 - " 07:17Z 33 20 22 231 (SW) 1110 - Partly cloudy 07:47Z 33 19 29 222 (SW) 1119 - Clear 08:19Z 33 19 27 224 (SW) 1000 - " 08:51Z 32 18 28 225 (SW) 903 - " 09:23Z 33 17 29 225 (SW) 774 - " 09:55Z 32 18 27 207 (SSW) 781 - Mostly clear 10:27Z 32 17 27 218 (SW) 709 - " 11:00Z 32 18 23 230 (SW) 776 - " 11:32Z 32 22 31 229 (SW) 809 - " 12:04Z 31 21 25 216 (SW) 829 - " 12:36Z 31 21 26 211 (SSW) 799 - " ---=== TELESCOPE STATUS ===--- 23:30Z - Began ventilation.
