APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Sunday October 21, 2007 (MJD 54395) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Audrey Simmons (swing) Dan Oravetz (swing) Elena Malanushenko Dmitry Bizyaev ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- SEGUE spectroscopy and SN Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- We lost the night because of high humidity and strong wind. We got imager biases & flats as cloudy night shake test. endNight complained about missing spectro files. We did not get useful data last night so we ignore it. The imager dewar needs to be replaced after next filling. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: ---------- Spectro focus set for 4.5C. (Note that the second Hartmann exposure for goSpecFoc did not show up in SOS. We tried issuing a sos_redo expnum=46839, but it came back with a messaging saying that sos_redo was already running. Dispite this glitch, we were still able to run collimate without any problems.) 23:34Z - Began ventilation. Doors and louvers opened, fans on. Night: ------ 00:30Z Opened and closed because of wind gusts up to 38 mph. Continue the ventilation. 02:10Z The wind was down and we opened again. Cart 2 plate 2798, we needed one more exposure after last night of observations. Used FK5 to find the guider starts. The seeing was up to 5 arcsec and the guider could not guide the stars. We tried different guide camera exposure time without any success. 03:00Z Imager is mounted. Stripe 82,N, scanStripe to lambda 111. 03:40Z goDrift The starts were very large on display because of 5-6 arcsec seeing. We could not select the good initial focus manually or using focusLoop. Skippy could not process the data. We stopped the drift and the run have been marked as bad. 04:00Z.Humidity is rised from 20% to 80% during last 20 minuts, wind increased to 40 mph again. We moved enclosure on and stopped the ventilation. -------------------------------------------------- Imager biases and flats.
