APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Sunday February 1, 2009 (MJD 54864) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Elena Malanushenko Viktor Malanushenko Steph Snedden (afternoon) ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- 1 Feb 2009 54864.0 0.45 SEGUE 10.5 hours ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- Clouds, high wind & high dust at the evening. We observed 4 plates. Two plates has been declared as done: 3180 and 3221. We collected useful S/N for the plate 3213. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternooon: ---------- Moved spectro focus to an estimated air temp of 2 to 3 C. No problems noted during afternoon checkout No data removed from disk 00:04Z - We noted that the MCP was unavailable on our control room sessions. This happened at 23:59Z. It appears to be a communications problem, since the session at the laptop is fine. 23:55Z - Started enclosure ventilation Night ----- 00:40Z hard rebooted MCP board. whent to telescope to open, but
