APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Thursday March 4, 2010 (MJD 55260) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Audrey Simmons Dmitry Bizyaev Jon Brinkmann (specmech work in the evening) ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- BOSS and Marvels Science ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- Cartridge 10 plugged witha a MArvels pre-selection plate was observed right after sunset, between 12 and 18 degrees twilights. We didn't have enough time to finish the survey plate. As a result, observations of BOSS survey plates were delayed by ~18 minutes. BOSS plates observed: 3760 (c. 13) not done yet 3685 (c. 12) not done yet (just a little left) MARVELS plates exposed: c. 1 3352 A c. 7 3714 A 3714 B missing fibers: 5,6 and 111,112 c. 8 3359 A missing fibers: 19,20 and 47,48 c. 5 3797 A c. 6 3412 A ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: ---------- telescope checked. Jon: EPROMs for 3.0.0 are installed. A/D's look good. Cartridge 10 is mounted (Marvels pre-selection) Marvels Th-Ar lamp turned on. 23:50Z started ventilation Night: ------ 00:52Z We opened earlier, 10 min. before the sunset, to have enough time to do the pre-selection plate between the 12 and 18 degrees twilight. 01:31Z gotoField with cart. 10 GSOGTF adjusted scale and focus. Started Marvels pre-selection exposures. 29 01:32 b1-00111037 10 3730 arc Lef 4.7 30500 30500 31500 HART 30 01:34 b1-00111038 10 3730 arc Rig 4.6 30500 30500 31500 HART 31 01:37 b1-00111039 10 3730 fla Out 30.6 30538 30539 31535 32 01:38 b1-00111040 10 3730 arc Out 4.6 30538 30539 31535 33 01:57 b1-00111041 10 3730 sci Out 12.6 30538 30538 31535 34 01:59 b1-00111042 10 3730 sci Out 12.6 30538 30538 31535 35 02:01 b1-00111043 10 3730 sci Out 20.6 30538 30538 31535 This time we are already late to start the BOSS survey plate in time. We have to switch to the next BOSS cartridge. This pre-selection plate was not finished, not enough time. 02:06Z cart. 13 plate 3760 is mounted. GSOGTF Seeing ~ 1.6". Some clouds. 02:52Z we noticed that SoS does not reduce the science exposure for this plate. More ove, 4 processes are running, and the loading is 0. We did sos_apocontrol stop then start. It does not help, the SoS loading is still zero (went up to 0.05, then was falling back down). It might be a result of the pre-selection plate observations (very short exposure time?). We called Kyle but didn't find him. Called David and he took a look. David: you should roll back to the SoS version 5_4_6. I'll do it. 04:36Z rotator halted. Stars went off the field. Guider turned off. Probably this is because the altitude was 85+ degrees (AZ ~ 180 deg). So last 2 minutes on exposure ** were with objects off the fibers. 38 02:17 b1-00111046 13 3760 arc Lef 4.6 35476 35476 36478 HART 39 02:18 b1-00111047 13 3760 arc Rig 4.6 35476 35476 36478 HART 40 02:20 b1-00111048 13 3760 fla Out 30.6 35476 35476 36478 41 02:22 b1-00111049 13 3760 arc Out 4.6 35476 35476 36478 42 02:28 b1-00111050 13 3760 sci Out 900.6 35476 35476 36478 43 02:45 b1-00111051 13 3760 sci Out 900.6 35476 35476 36478 44 03:01 b1-00111052 13 3760 sci Out 900.6 35476 35476 36478 45 03:18 b1-00111053 13 3760 sci Out 900.6 35476 35476 36478 46 03:34 b1-00111054 13 3760 sci Out 900.6 35476 35476 36478 47 03:51 b1-00111055 13 3760 sci Out 900.6 35476 35476 36478 48 04:08 b1-00111056 13 3760 sci Out 900.6 35476 35476 36478 49 04:24 b1-00111057 13 3760 sci Out 900.6 35476 35476 36478 50 04:41 b1-00111058 13 3760 fla Out 30.6 35476 35476 36478 51 04:44 b1-00111059 13 3760 arc Out 4.6 35476 35476 36478 Note that we didn't have SoS reduction till almost the end of the BOSS time. ---- logfile-55260.html ---- ------------------------------------------------------------ MJD b1 r1 b2 r2 Texp Sum Plugfile ------------------------------------------------------------ 55260 0.9 2.2 0.8 1.2 900.6 5.1 3760-55248-01 55260 0.7 1.6 0.6 0.8 900.6 3.7 3760-55248-01 55260 1.1 2.7 0.9 1.4 900.6 6.1 3760-55248-01 55260 0.7 1.5 0.6 0.8 900.6 3.6 3760-55248-01 55260 0.8 1.8 0.4 0.8 900.6 3.8 3760-55248-01 55260 0.3 0.8 0.2 0.3 900.6 1.6 3760-55248-01 ------------------------------------------------------------ 4.5 10.6 3.5 5.3 5403.6 --> 23.9 ------------------------------------------------------------ -- 04:50Z cart. 12 plate 3685 is mounted.
