APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Tuesday March 10, 2009 (MJD 54901) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Kaike Pan Viktor Malanushenko ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- Cloudy up to midnight. We have observed only Marvels plates and received a useful signal for the next plates: 3079A,B 3089A 3219B 3277A,B 3288B 3359A Viktor worked with new MARVELS Connector Dust Plugs. All the great and almost easily inserted to put the plug into the calibration port. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: ---------- All systems were checked and working properly. The spectro focus was checked but no adjustment made. The best focus is set for about 6 C. 00:10Z started ventilation. Night: ----- 01:10Z enclousure off.
