APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Saturday March 27, 2010 (MJD 55283) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Dmitry Bizyaev Howard Brewington Support: Craig Loomis (phone) ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- MARVELS Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- We ran on generator power for the entire night; I think we are getting low on fuel. About 50-minutes were lost, at the start of the night, to clouds and radar returns. About 30-minutes were lost to a gcam/guider problem; see log. A piece of the white sheet plastic that covers the power rails to the 2.5-meter was blown loose by yesterday's wind. We put it on the floor of the plug lag.

The FF lamps were accidently left on during the first 30-minutes of this expousre. Sorry. T02:50:47.510 0 0. 8. 480. BIAS NULL T03:16:52.050 0 11. 44108. 4927. TIO NULL T03:18:59.640 0 160. 344. 741.

We noticed that we were not getting any scale updates and gcam could not be pinged. We tried all the usual stuff, e.g., gCam stauts, setup gcameraICC, stageManger gcamICC restart, and start hubNubs gcam. Unfortunately, the guider was still not updating, so we called Craig. Sorry Craig. Craig restarted the guider actor. About 30-minutes were lost to this problem. We were on generator power at the time. 06:40Z Cart 05, plate 3892, pointing = A, fieldID = 47UMA, GSOGTF.
