APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Wednesday December 29, 2004 (MJD 53369) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Jurek Krzesinski ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Monthly checkout. ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- PT ff lamp has been changed, Jon tested PT and criotiger (see the PT log). Monthly checkout done. Tomorrow on the afternoon checkout I'll home and relax the mirrors. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Spectro monthly checkout part 2. -------------------------------- Bias histogram made, percentiles for bias and dark were calculated (see the problem section). 98% percentiles for dark seems to be above 15 electrons level by =< 3 electrons. Dithered spectroscopic flats done. New fiducial tables were built for azimuth and altitude axies and the old one was left for the rotator (the old rot.dat table from 30 Nov 2004 got more fiducial crossings than the new one). MCP switch was made and reboot done. The white board fiducial version was update into v1_36. Everything seems to work fine. ---=== IMAGING RUN SUMMARY ===--- Run Time Stripe Lambda Last Flavor Comments Start End Begin End Frame ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---=== IMAGING RUN DETAILS ===--- ---=== SKIPPY RESULTS ===--- Run Frame nFrames stars muErr muRms nuErr nuRms rot az el --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---=== LTMATCH RESULTS ===--- Run Field nFields alt az nGood rowMean rowSig colMean colSig rot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---=== SPECTROSCOPY DATA SUMMARY ===--- Summary Checked (y/n): QA Procedures Done (y/n): y UT Exp Time flavor comment (S/N)^2 totals ========================================== b1 r1 b2 r2 ----- sequence 30094, plate -9999 ------- 20:20 30094 0.0 bias 21:08 30095 0.0 dark 21:25 30096 0.0 dark 22:05 30097 0.0 dark ----- sequence 30098, plate 1761 ------- 22:16 30098 0.0 bias 23:39 30099 10.0 flat 23:42 30100 10.0 flat 00:01 30101 10.0 flat 00:05 30102 10.0 flat 00:09 30103 10.0 flat 00:13 30104 10.0 flat 00:19 30105 10.0 flat 00:23 30106 10.0 flat 00:27 30107 10.0 flat 00:31 30108 2.0 arc 00:33 30109 2.0 arc 00:38 30110 10.0 flat ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE I ===--- Time Instrument Az Alt Rot Scale pos offset pos offset pos offset ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE II ===--- ---=== DATA TAPE SUMMARY ===--- Goes: JL Stays: JL ---=== FOCUS LOG ===--- setmir piston Temp Wind Time Inst scale M1 M2 Foc Az Alt (C) MPH Dir filt fwhm ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---=== WEATHER LOG ===--- Wind Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust DIMM Sky 19:40Z 40 33 20 201 (SSW) 1 - 20:13Z 41 34 31 223 (SW) 3 - 20:49Z 40 34 26 229 (SW) 0 - 21:25Z 41 34 26 202 (SSW) 2 - 22:02Z 40 35 24 199 (SSW) 1 - 22:34Z 40 34 21 212 (SSW) 1 - 23:06Z 40 34 22 209 (SSW) 0 - 23:38Z 40 35 25 189 (S) 0 - 00:11Z 40 35 24 202 (SSW) 2 - 00:42Z 39 35 23 204 (SSW) 1 - 01:14Z 40 35 24 203 (SSW) 1 - 01:47Z 39 35 20 199 (SSW) 0 - 02:19Z 39 36 22 195 (SSW) 1 - 02:51Z 39 36 23 196 (SSW) 1 - 03:23Z 40 36 23 208 (SSW) 2 - 03:55Z 39 36 25 204 (SSW) 0 - 04:28Z 38 35 25 205 (SSW) 5 - ---=== TELESCOPE STATUS ===--- ---=== SOFTWARE USED ===--- IOP/SOP: v3_143_0 Watcher: v2_30_0 MCP: v5_26_0 TPM: tpm_v2_46_0 AstroDa: v14_47 TCC: TCC 2.7.2.1 August 6 2004 sdssProcedures: v1_97 SoS: v4_10_7 hoggPT: v1_6_9 plate-mapper: v4_3_1 ---=== MIRROR NUMBERS ===--- PRIMARY: -------- Scale: 1.000000 MIGS TONIGHT NOMINAL Axial A 0.5460 0.5600 Axial B 0.5730 0.5720 Axial C 0.9100 0.9330 Trans D -8.1720 -8.1960 Lateral E 9.8552 10.0457 E,F are off - homing and relaxin will be Lateral F 11.4935 11.6205 done tomorrow GALILS Commanded: 4300. -1900. 2850. -13300. -7600. -7650.
