APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Tuesday June 30, 2009 (MJD 55013) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Steph Snedden Howard Brewington Jon Brinkmann (support) ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- MARVELS and SEGUE2 Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- The night was lost to clouds, humidity, wind, and rain. We had to replace a blown AC fuse in the IRSC's power supply. We discovered a small problem with the MARVELS software. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: ---------- 23:00Z Start the afternoon checkout. 23:05Z Restarted the servers. 23:10Z Spectro focus was checked adjusted, i.e., Sp1 by +1000 and Sp2 by +500. It's set for about 15-degree C, and the pre-adjusted collimate numbers are posted in the Problem Section. 23:18Z Completed the apo_plotbias; results posted in Prob Section 23:21Z Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda3 142G 119G 16G 89% / /dev/sda1 99M 30M 64M 33% /boot /dev/sdb1 917G 782G 89G 90% /data sdssfiles1p:/data1/data 1.5T 596G 798G 43% /files 00:40Z ThAr lamp on 01:19Z Doors/louvers opened, fans on. 02:15Z Sunset Night: ------ 02:33Z Cloud camera did not start after a couple tries. We found a blown AC fuse between the UPS and the IRSC's power supply. 02:45Z Enclosure off, topped-off spectro secondary dewars, checked top/bottom balance, did a test slew, checked fiducial crossings for each axis, and started the DIMM. 03:00Z Cart 03, plate 3487 (April09a_MARVELS). An FK5 was used to find the field. We were able to start an exposure; however, the clouds over the basin began to grow. 03:42Z Enclosure on, doors/louvers open, fans on as lightning moved closer to the site. 03:57Z Twilight end 06:37Z Doors/louvers closed, fans off as humidity, wind, and clouds increased. 06:44Z Started the last of the MARVELS cals, viz., the "OTHER." EXPTIME, PMTAVG, IMGAVG, EXPTYPE MARVELS1.2009-07-01T06:45:13.830.fits[0] 2400.0 4.86 486.24 OTHER We waited a long time for the above exposure to arrive in /data/MARVELS/55013/et1. Finally, we did a test exposure by doing another TIO. As a result, the lost.fits arrive, but the test TIO did not. So, we did another test exposure, and the lost TIO arrived, but the second test exposure did not. There seems to be a problem with the software that the last exposure taken does not go to the /data/MARVELS/55013/et1 directory. We sent Frank Varosi an email about the bug. 07:02Z Humidity at 83%; wind at 36.6 mph 07:20Z Humidity at 86%; wind at 45.7 mph 07:29Z Moonset 08:20Z We had clouds and rain; wind at 37.2 mph 08:46Z Doors/louvers opened, fan on 10:18Z Morning twilight 10:22Z endNight finished and was happy. 10:45Z ThAr lamp off 11:59Z Sunrise ---=== 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 62006, plate -9999 ------- 23:07 62006 0.0 bias ----- sequence 62007, plate 3478 ------- 23:16 62007 10.0 flat 23:18 62008 2.0 arc 23:27 62009 2.0 arc 23:29 62010 2.0 arc ----- sequence 62011, plate -9999 ------- 00:42 62011 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 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 01:30Z 5 0 1.00000 1 1257 0 121 30.0 16.1 7 60 ---=== WEATHER LOG ===--- Wind Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust DIMM Sky 23:00Z 57 54 2 316 (NW) 1109 - 23:31Z 61 48 7 86 (E) 485 - 00:01Z 62 47 5 118 (ESE) 526 - 00:32Z 64 45 5 96 (E) 417 - 01:04Z 63 47 3 121 (ESE) 514 - 01:34Z 60 47 0 135 (SE) 505 - 02:05Z 58 47 3 83 (E) 538 - 02:36Z 57 47 8 89 (E) 553 - 03:06Z 57 46 9 88 (E) 611 - 03:36Z 57 46 13 78 (ENE) 620 - 04:08Z 57 45 11 80 (E) 640 - 04:39Z 56 46 11 80 (E) 668 - 05:09Z 56 46 11 71 (ENE) 774 - 05:41Z 55 46 11 65 (ENE) 829 - 06:13Z 55 48 7 63 (ENE) 1011 - 06:45Z 49 47 25 70 (ENE) 846 - 07:17Z 48 47 22 53 (NE) 383 - 07:47Z 49 45 30 65 (ENE) 555 - 08:18Z 50 41 25 77 (ENE) 478 - 08:50Z 53 40 24 70 (ENE) 289 - 09:21Z 55 37 28 60 (ENE) 415 - 09:52Z 55 39 20 59 (ENE) 165 - 10:23Z 56 39 26 56 (NE) 141 - ---=== TELESCOPE STATUS ===--- 01:19Z Doors and louvers opened, fans on. 02:35Z Enclosure off. 03:42Z Enclosure on, doors and louvers open, fans on. 06:37Z Doors/louvers closed, fans off 08:46Z Doors/louvers open, fans on 10:30Z Doors/louvers closed, fans off No interlocks bypassed.
