APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Tuesday October 26, 2010 (MJD 55496) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Dmitry Bizyaev Viktor Malanushenko Steph Snedden (afternoon) ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- 26 Oct 2010 55496.0 0.72 01:41 11:54 20:59 07:14 MARVELS 11.2 hours ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- Partly cloudy night with strong wind and high humidity after 08:45Z. We observed 6 plates. One of them, Cart7#3638A probably need declare as bad (see in log section). Plates which we observe: cart 3 plate 3518A cart 3 plate 3518B cart 1 plate 3513B cart 6 plate 3706A cart 6 plate 3706B cart 7 plate 3638A Broken or missing fibers: cart.3#3518A 27,28; 49,50; 93,94 cart.3#3518B 49,50 cart.1#3513B 49,50; 67,68 cart.6#3706A 49,50 cart.6#3706B 49,50; 87,88 cart.7#3638A 33,34; 49,50 ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: --------- To the person who cleaned the moths out of the lower enclosure - Thanks! No problems noted at the telescope during checkout. 21:40Z - All actors alive except for ecamera (as expected). 21:46Z - gcamera dark taken 22:11Z - Cartridge 13 mounted. BOSS bias, dark, flat, arc taken. Hartmann taken, but no collimation adjust made, since tonight is all MARVELS. The out-of focus amounts on both the actuators and rings indicate that a piston of the actuators would bring everything into focus. 22:25Z - ThAr lamp on 22:35Z - All required MARVELS cartridges are in the bay. 22:37Z - Cartridge 3 mounted. 22:39Z - Ventilation started. Doors opened. Night: ----- Cart 3#3518A 01:00Z calibrate T23:47:43.540, T01:00:50.070, T01:02:56.T02:05:05.480590, T01:07:33.120 01:10Z T01:10:38.230 3 3518A 3000. 28. 938.
