APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Monday June 28, 2010 (MJD 55376) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Dmitry Bizyaev Dan Oravetz ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- MARVELS Science ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- The night was lost to high humidity, clouds, and threats of precipitation. Please replace the spectro dewar. 25 biases and 3X900s darks were taken. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon ========= Arrived to cloudy skies and nearby precipitation. ThAr lamp turned on. Checked aliveness of STUI actors. Checked that the temperatures of the spectrograph cameras and gcamera were in spec. Checked murmur servers. Checked out the telescope and enclosure including fiducial checks and mirror numbers. We put off ventilation because there was lots of rain in the basin in addition to ominous clouds overhead. We also didn't bother opening the cloud camera since it was clearly cloudy. Night ===== The weather conditions were the same as during checkout without improvement, but we kept monitoring. The humidity increased to add to the clouds and nearby precipitation. Spectro biases and darks were taken; 25 biases (117237 - 117261) and 3X900s darks (117262 - 117264). We're about an hour from 12-deg. twilight with no indications of improving weather conditions over the next hour, so we shut everything down at the enclosure and called it a night. ThAr lamp turned off. endNight rejoiced. ---=== 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): y QA Procedures Done (y/n): n UT Exp Time flavor comment (S/N)^2 totals ========================================== b1 r1 b2 r2 ---=== 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 01:32Z 46 46 26 62 (ENE) 389 - 02:05Z 46 46 18 76 (ENE) 362 - 02:38Z 46 46 7 86 (E) 358 - 03:10Z 44 44 9 17 (NNE) 6924 - 03:43Z 44 44 0 305 (NW) 2064 - 04:16Z 45 45 1 119 (ESE) 851 - 04:49Z 45 45 6 106 (ESE) 464 - 05:22Z 45 45 1 202 (SSW) 532 - 05:54Z 44 44 1 180 (S) 434 - 06:27Z 44 44 2 255 (WSW) 450 - 07:00Z 44 44 0 171 (S) 479 - 07:33Z 45 45 7 81 (E) 539 - 08:06Z 47 47 2 95 (E) 707 - 08:39Z 47 47 6 107 (ESE) 731 - 09:12Z 46 46 0 205 (SSW) 723 - 09:45Z 45 45 2 81 (E) 702 - ---=== TELESCOPE STATUS ===--- Never opened or ventilated tonight because of threatening weather.
