APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Saturday April 26, 2003 (MJD 52756) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Night: Steph Snedden Howard Brewington ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- Photometric with good seeing until clouds moved in around 08:30Z. imaging data from 14 N from lambda = -05 to +59 imaging data from 13 N from lambda = +19 to +58 Declared plate 1170 done and completed on exposure on plate 1172. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon --------- Since the imager was on the scope, we did not check the spectro focus. The afternoon imager bias should be a good one since it was taken inside the dark enclosure on the telescope. There was a problem with a backplane communication error during setup. However, we did a ptvmeReset, which corrected the problem. We got a couple of errors after using the goDrift command; see problems #1 and #2 in the problems section. Night ----- Imager: 03:10Z Run #3903 14,N Lambda of -05 to +59 with a 3 deg ramp on each end. Seeing was about 1.3" to 1.2" 07:00Z Run #3905 13,N Lambda of +19 to +58 with a 3 deg ramp on each end. Seeing was about 1.2" to 1.1" This run was stopped because of clouds. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Spectro: 09:30Z Plate 1170, cartridge 01: An Fk5 star was needed to find field. Seeing about 1.5" Plate declared done in three exposures. 10:30Z Plate 1172, cartridge 07: An Fk5 star was needed to find field. Seeing about 1.5" Completed one exposure. ---=== IMAGING RUN SUMMARY ===--- Run Time Stripe Lambda Last Flavor Comments Start End Begin End Frame -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3902 00:52Z 01:09Z 100 O -63.03 -58.76 38 bias 3903 02:41Z 07:01Z 14 N -3.32 61.85 449 science 3905 07:07Z 08:31Z 13 N 15.05 36.06 152 science 3906 08:36Z 08:47Z 13 N 37.57 40.27 31 calibration ---=== IMAGING RUN DETAILS ===--- Run 3902: Bias, T-bars unlatched, on telescope, in darkened enclosure +++++++++++++++++++++++++ Run 3903: Science, 14 N; -05 & 3 ramp <= lambda <= +59 & 3 ramp Started the run ~30 min before 18 deg twilight to get set up and hit the three degree ramp about eight minutes before the end of 18 deg twilight.
