APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Wednesday June 10, 2009 (MJD 54993) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Alaina Shelden Kaike Pan Support: Jon Brinkmann Steph Snedden (by phone) ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- six MARVELS survel plates and one pre-selection plate observed: plate 3277A, HD80606 plate 3277B, GJ436 plate 3489A, Field1349 plate 3489B, Kepler3.TRES-2 plate 3411A, K10 plate 3411B FIELD1572 pre-selection plate 3508, field1296 Possible broken fiber: cart 1, A pointing: pair 83-84(yellow, black, cyan), pair 107-108 (yellow, red, cyan) cart 3, A pointing: pair 53-54. Spectro dewar at low weight. Problem: Guider stoped updated twice likely due to lost gflat frames (see log). 10 min lost due to the problem, and manually guiding through 35 minutes. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: ---------- 00:49Z Disk space: Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda3 142G 119G 16G 89% / /dev/sda1 99M 30M 64M 33% /boot /dev/sdb1 917G 756G 116G 87% /data sdssfiles1p:/data1/data 1.5T 601G 792G 44% /files All systems were checked and working properly. 01:06Z Marvels ThAr lamp on. 01:30Z Started ventilation. Night: ------ 02:12Z enclosure off. 02:35Z cart 1, plate 3277A (MARVELS). FK5 used to acquire the field. 02:57Z cals, all these three frames are located in engineering dir instead et1 dir. T02:57:04.100.fits T02:59:09:510.fits T03:03:45.080.fits 03:11Z started 50 min exposure. SDSS reported seeing about 1.5-1.6, DIMM reported 1.1 to 1.3 (except for windy moments). Sky was clear. average PMT: 28.35 T03:11:01.530.fits, average PMT: 28.35 There are so spectra in fiber pair 83-84, 107-108 03:15Z 12 degree twilight 04:02Z cals T04:02:58.630.fits T04:05:04.040.fits T04:09:39.940.fits 04:03Z cart 1, plate 3277B (MARVELS), SOGTF. However, when everything is setup and ready to go. Guider stopped updating. When "start guider" was issued, it took one image and updated the guider GUI, but didn't take 2nd guider image. We exited from the SOP session, and started a new session, guider works fine again. It looked like a guider loop issue. 12 minutes losted due to the problem. 04:34Z stared a 50 min exposure. Guider stopped updating AGAIN after the 15 minutes exposing. Since we don't want to waste photons collected, we manage manually guiding through rest of 35 min. During manually guiding,PMT reading was about the same as before guider stop updating The manually guiding After the exposure read out, we took a gflat, and tried the guider, it works again. So it looked like somehow gflat frames were lost. During the exposure, seeing was 1.3-1.4, but there were some thin cloud during second half. T04:34:26.140.fits, average PMT: 17.7. No broken fibers found in this plate. 05:29 cals T05:29:28.030.fits T05:31:33.470.fits T05:36:07.290.fits 05:31Z cart 8, plate 3489A (MARVELS). FK5 used. 05:45Z started 50 min exposure.
