APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Thursday August 5, 2010 (MJD 55414) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Elena Malanushenko Viktor Malanushenko Stephanie Snedden Paul Harding ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Shakedown ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- We could not try to go on sky because of rain, hight humidity, and nearby radar return. There was problem with rotator position. Tcc reset -90 as zero position for rotator. We reset it to zero twice using MCP. After we gothered fiducial data with rotator, it was ok. We got fiducial tables: rotator GC=1281088463 - 1281071983 azimuth GC=1281072981 - 1281076451 altitude GC=1281076472 - 1281077536 T=14.0C Homed & Relaxed Primary mirror and Homed Secondary mirror. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon ----------- Checked STUI actors, some of them were not availble. Craig said they needs to be retagged for the network change. testActors, 2010-08-06 02:53:53 alerts ping ** FAILED ** alerts status ** FAILED ** apo ping ** FAILED ** apo status ** FAILED ** boss ping ** FAILED ** boss status ** FAILED ** gcamera ping ** FAILED ** gcamera status ** FAILED ** guider ping OK guider status OK hub status OK mcp ping OK msg just testing OK perms status OK platedb ping ** FAILED ** platedb status ** FAILED ** sop ping ** FAILED ** sop status ** FAILED ** sos ping ** FAILED ** tcc show status OK tcc show time OK keys getFor=hub version OK ------------ EngCam was mounted. We checked and adjusted balance, checked fiducials crossing and mirror number procedure. We started at rotator position was rot=0 and applied command "track 121,30 mount", but rotator moved to real position -90. Software show rot=0. We moved rotator to -90 and set position to zero by MCP. After another "tcc track command" rotator moved to -90 again as rot=0. We moived it to zero and set zero again. Night ---------- It was cloudy and nearby radar return. Delay with ventilations. 02:45Z started ventilation 03:00Z stopped ventilation because of rain. We obtained fiducials tables for all three axes. Homed and Relaxed Pri and Homed Secondary. It was very cloudy for the rest of night. We need better sky and more time to work with EngCam and optical collimation. 08:40 Z endNight. ---=== 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): 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 01:34Z 62 50 8 92 (E) 221 - 08:00Z 57 48 14 77 (ENE) 188 - ---=== TELESCOPE STATUS ===--- 02:45Z - Began ventilation.
