APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Sunday November 26, 2006 (MJD 54066) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Afternoon: Shannon Watters Night: Kaike Pan, Mike Harvanek ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Scienza! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- The night was lost to clouds. The watcher became disconnected from the server numerous times tonight. After becoming disconnected, it would then reconnect itself. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: ---------- Cloudy skies. Temp ~3C, wind ~15mph from the Southwest. All sytems checked and working. Spectrograph focus set to ~5C using the temperatures from the mechSend s command (sp1 is set for ~6C and sp2 for ~4C - they are always about 2 degrees apart). NOTE: If we still used the PMSSAvg temp then they would be set for ~3C. No MT Watcher. Night: ------ We mounted the imager and took an on-telescope bias in a darkened enclosure (run 6611, 00:37Z). Clouds prevented us from opening. We waited for the sky to clear. The watcher spent the evening disconnecting from and then reconnecting with the server. It was cloudy all night. It started to snow around 11:55Z and we called it a night. endNight rejoiced. ---=== IMAGING RUN SUMMARY ===--- Run Time Stripe Lambda Last Flavor Comments Start End Begin End Frame ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6610 21:33Z 21:45Z 100 O 98.03 101.25 36 ignore 6611 00:37Z 01:02Z 100 O 144.26 150.50 56 bias on-telescope ---=== 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): YES QA Procedures Done (y/n): YES UT Exp Time flavor comment (S/N)^2 totals ========================================== b1 r1 b2 r2 ----- sequence 41570, plate -9999 ------- 21:35 41570 0.0 bias ----- sequence 41571, plate 2481 ------- 21:42 41571 10.0 flat 21:45 41572 2.0 arc 21:58 41573 3.0 arc 22:01 41574 3.0 arc 22:24 41575 3.0 arc 22:26 41576 3.0 arc ----- sequence 41577, plate -9999 ------- 00:08 41577 0.0 bias ----- sequence 41578, plate -9999 ------- 00:46 41578 0.0 bias ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE I ===--- Time Instrument Az Alt Rot Scale pos offset pos offset pos offset ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE II ===--- ---=== 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 21:31Z 40 24 9 225 (SW) 266 - cloudy 22:02Z 38 24 12 241 (WSW) 346 - cloudy 22:32Z 38 25 14 231 (SW) 345 - cloudy 23:03Z 37 26 14 243 (WSW) 251 - cloudy 23:35Z 37 25 13 208 (SSW) 289 - cloudy 00:07Z 37 24 13 203 (SSW) 278 - cloudy 00:48Z 36 25 9 251 (WSW) 449 - cloudy 01:20Z 36 24 8 224 (SW) 415 - cloudy 01:53Z 35 24 13 201 (SSW) 490 - cloudy 02:25Z 35 23 15 211 (SSW) 511 - cloudy 02:57Z 36 22 13 234 (SW) 403 - cloudy 03:30Z 36 22 14 238 (WSW) 439 - cloudy 04:02Z 36 22 14 227 (SW) 413 - cloudy 04:34Z 36 22 13 241 (WSW) 385 - cloudy 05:06Z 36 22 14 225 (SW) 336 - cloudy 05:38Z 36 22 13 240 (WSW) 342 - cloudy 06:14Z 37 22 16 233 (SW) 351 - cloudy 06:51Z 37 23 16 223 (SW) 487 - cloudy 07:23Z 36 23 18 213 (SSW) 503 - cloudy 07:55Z 36 23 19 218 (SW) 566 - cloudy 08:27Z 36 24 15 239 (WSW) 575 - cloudy 08:59Z 35 24 16 212 (SSW) 582 - cloudy 09:31Z 34 25 14 217 (SW) 669 - cloudy 10:03Z 34 25 13 241 (WSW) 637 - cloudy 10:35Z 34 25 11 228 (SW) 628 - cloudy 11:08Z 34 25 15 224 (SW) 575 - cloudy 11:40Z 34 27 20 233 (SW) 514 - cloudy ---=== TELESCOPE STATUS ===--- 23:25Z Fans and blowers on, louvers opened. 11:55Z Doors closed, fans and blowers off, louvers closed.
