APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Sunday September 20, 2009 (MJD 55095) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Alaina Shelden Audrey Simmons Paul Harding (guider) ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Guider test Boss field, if available if no Boss field, try to guide on Marvels ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- Cloudy and rainy for the beginning of the night. When we opened, started guider tests with Paul. While this was going on, we did Boss science exposures with cals. (!) Check out exp 846, 847, 848, 852, 853. Cart 10 had scrambled fibers, they need to be verified. Also for 12, which was not observed. Cart 11 guided perfectly. Marvels cart is currently on, so that all Boss carts can be plugged. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: ---------- 23:20Z Restarted servers 23:35Z Disk space Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda3 142G 123G 12G 92% / /dev/sda1 99M 30M 64M 33% /boot /dev/sdb1 917G 802G 69G 93% /data hub25mp:/home 92G 51G 41G 56% /home_hub25m sdssfiles1p:/data1/data 1.8T 52G 1.8T 3% /files 23:45Z All software is running smoothly 23:55Z Afternoon checkout had no problems. 00:26Z Start hartmanns, files- 101832-834 motorPosition=-7612,-7956,-8010,19734,18936,19469 Ran collimate, details in Problems section motorPosition=-7612,-7956,-8010,19734,18936,19469 Blue cameras say they're out of focus, but we know that they should be in focus. 00:30Z Started ventilation. 00:30Z We've been getting this voltage error periodically, before it disappears again Warn boss.SP2B3VSc2 Reported by camCheck 01:03Z Filling dewars before we open, so Paul can have time to play with the guider before the rain storm moves in from the north. Night: ------ 01:10Z Sunset 01:15Z Clouds and thunderstorm rolled in. 02:25Z Evening twilight (18 deg) 03:58Z Started raining, closed doors and closed cloudcam. 06:25Z Opened enclosure 06:32Z Started guider test on Cart 10. 09:12Z Changed to Cart 11.

Still working on scale and focus. 10:17Z Tried another science exposure (849), got failure message 10:16:38 APO.asimmons.sop 927 boss f text="command failed: CommError(, 'poll timeout (10.0 secs) reading character.') at /home/sdss3/products/Linux64/boss/v1_2_6/python/boss/Controllers/TCPPort.py:125" Tried boss clearExposure, then it rebooted. Retried exposure with boss command instead of sop command, and it worked. Sop seemed to be getting confused. 10:37Z Got following error after read of 101850 finished Serious boss.SP1PhaseBoot Reported by camCheck When spectrographs are rebooted: boss iack sop restart boss reloadControllers controllers=sp1daq Comments: 10:47:57 APO.Craig: Basically, if an exposure does not appear on disk, reload the daq 10:56Z After starting a science exposure from BOSS, got the following error from SOP 10:55:24 APO.asimmons 62 sop w text="1 tasks failed to respond; heard from: " 10:55:24 APO.asimmons 62 sop w text="Failed to take science exposure" Exp 851 exists, but it may or may not be garbage.
