APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Tuesday April 14, 2009 (MJD 54936) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Alaina Shelden Audrey Simmons Nathan De Lee (MARVELS) ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- The entire night was lost due to clouds. Photo crate 2 is still acting up (see log for details). endNight failed at the 'Transfer cloud camera images' step. Perhaps this problem is related to the swapping of the zaphod computer (error message pasted in log section)? Would someone please look into this? Thank you. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: ---------- Craig and Robert did some testing with the new version of MCP during the day. We reverted back to the older version for tonight - v6_4_0, and rest the PID values. Photo crate 2 was having some communication issues, even after soft and hard reboots. Jon was notified. Mounted cart 1, plate 3362. Checked collimate temperatures, but left them at the same temperature as last night - 5C. 02:00Z - Began ventilating. Night: ------ 05:03:27Z - Watcher errors with the imager serial micro and the VME Nodes of id4, id5, and id6. This problem is related to the one earlier. The photo and stro crates were again rebooted, with no change. 08:16Z - Mounted cart 3, MARVELS plate 3418A. Clouds began to break up. We were hopeful, but the clouds came back. 11:03Z - Mounted cart 1, SEGUE plate 3362. Stopped ventilating. endNight failed at this step: sp1> copyIrcamImages 54936 -verbose Moving existing ircam directory out of the way. Transfering of ircam images to /data/ircam/54936 Failed to copy cloud camera images. Perhaps there were none tonight. Perhaps this problem is related to the swapping of the zaphod computer? The remaining steps of endNight were completed. ---=== IMAGING RUN SUMMARY ===--- Run Time Stripe Lambda Last Flavor Comments Start End Begin End Frame ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---=== 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): QA Procedures Done (y/n): UT Exp Time flavor comment (S/N)^2 totals ========================================== b1 r1 b2 r2 ----- sequence 60406, plate -9999 ------- 00:30 60406 0.0 bias ----- sequence 60407, plate 3362 ------- 00:46 60407 10.0 flat 00:49 60408 2.0 arc 00:56 60409 2.0 arc 00:58 60410 3.0 arc 01:40 60412 0.0 bias 01:55 60413 0.0 bias ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE I ===--- Time Instrument Az Alt Rot Scale pos offset pos offset pos offset ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE II ===--- ---=== FOCUS LOG ===--- setmir piston Temp Wind Time Inst scale M1 M2 Foc Az Alt (C) MPH Dir filt fwhm ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---=== WEATHER LOG ===--- Wind Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust DIMM Sky 00:13Z 53 10 30 216 (SW) 952 - Cloudy 00:43Z 52 11 18 241 (WSW) 841 - " 01:46Z 51 10 19 213 (SSW) 892 - " 01:59Z 51 10 17 205 (SSW) 913 - " 02:17Z 51 10 19 203 (SSW) 945 - " 02:49Z 49 10 18 212 (SSW) 1070 - " 03:21Z 50 11 16 234 (SW) 876 - " 03:53Z 49 11 23 247 (WSW) 769 - " 04:25Z 48 11 8 256 (WSW) 666 - " 04:55Z 47 10 9 263 (W) 612 - " 05:25Z 47 13 14 207 (SSW) 594 - " 05:58Z 46 11 13 262 (W) 606 - " 06:29Z 46 11 12 239 (WSW) 447 - " 07:03Z 45 12 13 264 (W) 484 - " 07:33Z 44 12 16 253 (WSW) 579 - " 08:03Z 42 13 15 237 (WSW) 530 - " 08:35Z 42 14 12 218 (SW) 577 - " 09:08Z 42 14 12 195 (SSW) 598 - " 09:38Z 41 15 18 217 (SW) 647 - " 10:08Z 40 14 14 229 (SW) 622 - " 10:40Z 40 13 9 257 (WSW) 653 - " 11:11Z 39 14 16 264 (W) 599 - " ---=== TELESCOPE STATUS ===--- 02:00Z - Began ventilation.
