APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Wednesday July 8, 2009 (MJD 55021) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Howard Brewington Kaike Pan ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- MARVELS Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- MARVELS night: Partly cloudy with good seeing (1.0"). One hour was lost to clouds. Observed plates: 3414A, 3357A, 3489A, 3489B, 3076A and 3076B Possible broken fibers: Cart 8 (plate 3489A), spectra pair 93 & 94 are very weak, fiber problem or faint object? Cartridge 5 (plate 3076B). fibers corresponding to spectra pair 25/26, and 35/36 may be broken. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: ---------- 23:00Z Restarted servers. 23:09Z Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda3 142G 120G 16G 89% / /dev/sda1 99M 30M 64M 33% /boot /dev/sdb1 917G 789G 82G 91% /data 00:29Z ThAr lamp on Night: ------- 02:16Z encloure off. 02:39Z because we got somw bizzare images that might be related to charged residuals on CCD, we decided to take three biases to read out the CCD chip. All bias frames look normal: MARVELS1.2009-07-09T02:39:07.550.fits MARVELS1.2009-07-09T02:42:53.410.fits MARVELS1.2009-07-09T02:40:59.990.fits 03:00Z started calib bracket: MARVELS1.2009-07-09T03:02:42.670.fits MARVELS1.2009-07-09T03:04:48.120.fits MARVELS1.2009-07-09T03:09:23.560.fits 03:00Z cart 7, 3414A, filed1348.

We decided to wait sky gets better. 06:40Z sky got a little better, we decided to take another set of calib, change to the next field.
