Spetro focus was checked but not adjusted; it's set for about 3-degrees C. Spectro Collimate numbers and apo_plotbias are posted in the Prob Sectcion. 01:00Z Opened doors/louvers and turned on fans. Night: ------ 01:12Z Sunset 02:00Z Enclosure off, topped-off spectro secondary dewars, checked top/bottom balance, did a test slew, and checked fiducial crossings for each. 01:39Z Cart 06, plate 3284 (Feb09aSEGUE2). An FK5 was used to find the field in bright twilight. The first guider frame was #0708. Although the spectro focus was fine durning the afternoon checkout, we had to make a small move of +2000 at twilight; a few miniutes were lost. This plate was declared DONE; see below. 02:06 59703 10.0 flat 02:09 59704 2.0 arc 02:20 59705 10.0 flat 02:22 59706 2.0 arc 02:30 59707 10.0 flat 02:32 59708 2.0 arc 02:32 Twilight end 03:06 59709 1800.0 target 03:39 59710 1801.0 target 03:43 59711 10.0 flat 03:45 59712 2.0 arc 04:21 59713 1800.0 target 04:57 59714 1800.0 target 05:01 59715 10.0 flat 05:04 59716 2.0 arc 05:37 59717 1800.0 target 06:10 59718 1800.0 target 06:13 59719 10.0 flat 06:16 59720 2.0 arc --------------------------------------------------- MJD b1 r1 b2 r2 Texp Sum --------------------------------------------------- 54907 7.7 3.1 9.5 4.6 1800.0 24.9 54907 8.3 3.1 11.0 4.7 1801.0 27.1 54907 9.3 3.4 12.0 5.2 1800.0 29.9 54907 10.1 3.5 11.4 5.3 1800.0 30.3 54907 8.7 4.1 10.9 5.8 1800.0 29.5 54907 8.9 4.2 10.1 5.3 1800.0 28.5 --------------------------------------------------- Total: 53.0 21.4 64.9 30.9 10801.0 --> 170.2 06:21Z Cart 07, plate 3170 (Nov08c_SEGUE2).
