APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Tuesday February 17, 2009 (MJD 54880) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Viktor Malanushenko Elena Malanushenko Kaike Pan (Swing) ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- Clear in the evening, and cloudy after 7:00Z. We finished three segue plates 3235, 3249, and 3248, and got some signal on two other plates 3241 and 3240. Our telesope was working properly for us. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: ---------- All systems were checked and working properly. The spectro focus was checked but no adjustment mde. It still set for about 3.5 C. No problem to report. Mounted Cartridge 9 for the beginning of the night. 00:25Z wind speed is abut 3o mph, but the guest is still over 35 mph at 37 mph. Opened louvers, fans on, east door opened to the half way.
