APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Friday August 20, 2010 (MJD 55429) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Audrey Simmons Elena Malanushenko ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Marvels Science! 20 Aug 2010 55429.0 0.79 03:11 11:03 18:05 01:58 MARVELS 8.9 hours ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- The most of night was lost because of rain, clouds, radar return. We observed one plate: cart 6 plate 3706, pointing A and B (broken 87/88). Rotator fiducials could not be read during the night. After initial "axis init" there was some vibration on telescope, I think it was what Howard described as rotator vibration. To developers: We request that the debugging output displayed in the STUI log be removed so that we better see the current events and details of the telescope operation. It is currently difficult to identify necessary telescope functions because of the clutter. It uploads log until log's limit very quickly and we cannot monitor important operational information even for duration of one exposure. The example of one block of debug output is in problem section, reported as an operational problem. This boss monitoring block is ~75 lines and repeat every 2 minutes. All information from that block is saving in archiver. We started science observations, but some of software versions are still test or trunk. We need to check-in them and keep until the next engineering time. alerts: trunk+svn114742 apo: trunk+svn114701 boss: trunk+svn115542M ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon ---------- Afternoon check was smooth, all equipment was working properly. Actors checked, testActors show boss,ecame and sos actors were failed, the same as last nights. 01:20Z Started ventilation 01:26Z Boss bias exposures f118220-23 02:10Z It was cloudy, nearby radar return, lightening at 11 km, so stopped ventilation and closed doors and Night ------ Cart 1 plate 3636A is mounted We were waiting for weather improving, clouds, lightening, nearby radar return and nearby rain. 06:10Z started ventilation again. 07:00Z tried the first version of script to read fiducials with success. During the test, rot fiducials were not read. STUI log show message: 07:02:33 .mcp 0 mcpw rotBadFiducialDelta 10025731 mcp w rotBadFiducial=-6,88.93 mcp i trace="Failed to identify rotator fiducila at 88.93" To developers: We request that the debugging output displayed in the STUI log be removed so that we better see the current events and details of the telescope operation. It is currently difficult to identify necessary telescope functions because of the clutter. The example of one block of debug output is in problem section. This boss monitoring block is ~75 lines and repeat every 2 minuts. All information from that block is saved in archiver. Learn how to get it from there. 09:15Z enclosure is off There was telescope vibration during "axis init", probably rotator.
