APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Tuesday January 13, 2009 (MJD 54845) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Kaike Pan Howard Brewington Steph Snedden (swing) Alaina Shelden (training) Scott Fleming (UF) Jon Brinkmann (support) ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- 13 Jan 2009 54845.0 0.76 BOSS/SEGUE until 03:33 (1.8 h), then MARVELS (9.6 h) Flexible Engineering ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- High winds and varibale seeing for most of the night We added signal to the following plates: 3184 3086 A and B 3088 A and B 3078 B 3003 was declared DONE. Could not find guide stars for plate 3077-A ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: ---------- A last minute plug request for an end-of-night MARVELS pre-selection plate was implemented. Thanks to Diana and Norm. SoS rsync processes were hung. We think the authorization key was accidentally changed yesterday (this was the root of your problems last night too, Dmitry). Jon reset the key. Mirrors were homed and relaxed. The numbers are slightly different, which could be normal drift. We will monitor for a few days, then implement new nominal values if these are stable. No data removed from disk. Spectro Focus is set for an air temp. of about 0C; good for the early night SEGUE plate, but no guarantees if the temp drops a lot by end of night... No other problems noted during checkout. Night: ------ 00:16Z Sunset; Enclosure off, topped-off spectro secondary dewars, checked top/bottom balance, did a test slew, checked fiducial crossings for each axis, and started the DIMM. The DIMM reported the seeing as variable, so we did not mount the imager. 01:00Z Cart 02, plate 3184 (Nov08c_SEGUE2). An FK5 start was used to find the field. With respect to the DIMM, seeing is varible, i.e., 1 to 2.5" Completed four science exposures; see below: 01:14 58021 10.0 flat 01:17 58022 2.0 arc 01:45Z Twilight end 01:54 58023 1800.0 target 02:27 58024 1801.0 target 02:30 58025 10.0 flat 02:33 58026 2.0 arc 03:06 58027 1800.0 target 03:34 58028 1500.0 target 03:36 moonrise 03:37 58029 10.0 flat 03:40 58030 2.0 arc 03:48Z Cart 03, plate 3077-A (Oct08c_Marvels). We tried both fields; however, we could not find either one at first. Field B was finally found but not A. Finally, we gave-up and moved on to Cart 06. No exposures on either field. 04:49Z Cart 06, plate 3086-A (Nov08a_Marvels). An FK5 was used to find the field. The DIMM reports the seeing as 1.0 to ~1.5" Completed one ten-minute cal and one fifty-minute exposure . 06:04Z Cart 06, plate 3086-B (Nov08a_Marvels). An FK5 was used to find the field. The DIMM reports the seeing as 1.0 to ~1.5" Completed one ten-minute cal and one fifty-minute exposure. 07:13Z Cart 01, plate 3088-A (Nov08a_Marvels). An FK5 was used to find the field. The DIMM reports the seeing as 1.0 to ~1.5" Completed one ten-minute cal and one fifty-minute exposure. 08:24Z Cart 01, plate 3088-B (Nov08a_Marvels). An FK5 was used to find the field. The DIMM reports the seeing as 1.0 to ~1.5" Completed one ten-minute cal and one fifty-minute exposure. 09:40Z Cart 09, plate 3078-B (Oct08a_Marvels). An FK5 was used to find the field. The DIMM reports the seeing as ~1.5" Completed one ten-minute cal and one fifty-minute exposure. 11:01Z Cart 07, plate 3003 (MarvelsPre200). An FK5 was used to find the field. The DIMM reports the seeing as ~1.5" Completed five 20-seconds exposures; this plate was declared DONE. There was not enough time to mount the engCam for a pointing model beyond this plate. 12:18Z Mounted Cart 02, plate 3184 12:28Z Enclosrue on 12:34Z Completed the guider darks 12:43Z Morning twilight 12:38Z endNight finished and was happy! ---=== IMAGING RUN SUMMARY ===--- Run Time Stripe Lambda Last Flavor Comments Start End Begin End Frame ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7902 23:20Z 23:33Z 100 O 172.64 -183.89 36 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): y QA Procedures Done (y/n): y UT Exp Time flavor comment (S/N)^2 totals ========================================== b1 r1 b2 r2 ----- sequence 58014, plate -9999 ------- 23:35 58014 0.0 bias ----- sequence 58015, plate 3184 ------- 23:41 58015 10.0 flat 23:43 58016 2.0 arc 23:47 58017 3.0 arc 23:50 58018 3.0 arc ----- sequence 58019, plate -9999 ------- 00:01 58019 0.0 bias 00:04 58020 0.0 bias ----- sequence 58021, plate 3184 ------- 01:14 58021 10.0 flat 01:17 58022 2.0 arc 01:54 58023 1800.0 target 02:27 58024 1801.0 target 02:30 58025 10.0 flat 02:33 58026 2.0 arc 03:06 58027 1800.0 target ----- sequence 58021, plate 3184 ------- 03:34 58028 1500.0 target 03:37 58029 10.0 flat 03:40 58030 2.0 arc ----- sequence 58031, plate 3003 ------- 11:23 58031 10.0 flat 11:25 58032 2.0 arc 11:33 58033 21.0 target 11:36 58034 21.0 target 11:39 58035 21.0 target 11:44 58036 21.0 target 11:47 58037 21.0 target 11:55 58038 21.0 target 11:59 58039 21.0 target 12:03 58040 10.0 flat 12:06 58041 2.0 arc ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE I ===--- Time Instrument Az Alt Rot Scale pos offset pos offset pos offset ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 01:29Z 2 3184 26.14 0.0027 54.41 -0.0028 201.76 0.0248 0.999860 07:32Z 1 3088 240.83 -0.0101 67.65 -0.0020 76.81 0.0095 0.999970 08:40Z 1 3088 243.88 -0.0101 60.92 -0.0020 85.50 0.0095 0.999930 ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE II ===--- ---=== FOCUS LOG ===--- setmir piston Temp Wind Time Inst scale M1 M2 Foc Az Alt (C) MPH Dir filt fwhm ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 01:26Z 2 3184 0.99986 1381 2433 120 27 54.2 -0.1 14 357 gdr 2.0 ---=== WEATHER LOG ===--- Wind Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust DIMM Sky 23:31Z 30 11 5 348 (NNW) 277 - clear 00:03Z 31 7 24 8 (N) 229 - 01:18Z 31 9 21 1 (N) 259 - 01:48Z 32 9 18 35 (NE) 217 - 02:20Z 33 8 9 13 (NNE) 183 - clear 02:50Z 33 10 8 22 (NNE) 266 - 03:20Z 32 10 16 349 (NNW) 337 - 03:52Z 32 11 16 3 (N) 399 - 04:24Z 31 11 9 5 (N) 397 - 04:56Z 31 8 15 31 (NNE) 337 - 05:27Z 30 10 14 15 (NNE) 413 - clear 06:00Z 30 10 21 7 (N) 319 - 06:32Z 30 10 32 21 (NNE) 314 - 07:04Z 31 6 20 16 (NNE) 270 - 07:35Z 32 4 23 16 (NNE) 245 - 08:05Z 30 5 23 27 (NNE) 243 - 08:37Z 33 1 29 27 (NNE) 168 - clear 09:09Z 35 1 26 32 (NNE) 163 - 09:40Z 36 0 18 25 (NNE) 116 - 10:12Z 36 0 19 34 (NE) 105 - 10:44Z 34 1 13 31 (NNE) 90 - 11:18Z 33 1 17 74 (ENE) 122 - 11:49Z 33 2 17 44 (NE) 110 - 12:22Z 34 2 21 37 (NE) 100 - clear ---=== TELESCOPE STATUS ===--- 23:30Z Doors and louvers open, fans on. 00:16Z Enclosure off. 12:28Z Enclosure on, doors and louvers closed, fans off.
