APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Saturday January 1, 2011 (MJD 55563) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Dan Oravetz Audrey Simmons Steph Snedden (afternoon) Support: Fritz Stauffer ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- BOSS Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- Clear night. We observed the following: Cart 10, plate 4367 Cart 11, plate 4531 (DONE) Cart 16, plate 4529 (DONE) Cart 15, plate 4503 (DONE) Cart 17, plate 3826 (DONE) Cart 18, plate 3786 (DONE) Cart 12, plate 3842 During afternoon checkout, STUI failed to connect with any computer all of the sudden. Fritz was called, and he traced the problem to a process overload with a program compressing log files on hub25m. After killing the process everything was happy again. At the end of the night, the platedb failed to reload and we received the following error message. Because of this, we were not able to force-complete cartridges 15 and 18. Proxy Error - The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server. The proxy server could not handle the request GET /planObserving. Reason: Error reading from remote server. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: ---------- No problems during afternoon checkout with the telescope, but Steph had a problem with the pneumatic cartridge positioners. The middle row on the west end was very finicky about cartridge placement. Either the inside block or the outside block would fail to close all the way. Finally, the cartridge was placed so that the inside block closed and the outside one could be manually closed. The cloud camera failed to take andprocess images. There was an alarm coming from the UPS at the cloud camera. When it was power cycled, the cloud camera started up normally. As with the last two days, STUI failed to connect on login on Steph's laptop, even after a reboot of the laptop. Today, DanO's STUI session on landru failed during the authorization step of login. Audrey was able to login, but no commands that she issued were apparently seen by hub25m. Fritz was called. 23:10Z - Ventilation started, doors left closed. 00:30Z - Doors opened. Night: ----- The load process on hub25m was through the roof. Fritz killed a program that was compressing a whole bunch of log files, and then we were able to connect to STUI again. 01:11Z - Opened enclosure. Filled spectrographs.
