APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Saturday March 12, 2005 (MJD 53442) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Scot Kleinman Dan Long Visitors: Rich Kron Phone support: The Loomis The Ron ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- Yeah, so we took a few spectra. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- 01:58Z cart 3 plate 2976 (SEGUE faint) GSOTGTF with magical offset. We had troubles with id1-1 and ended up disabling and running with only id1-2. See Problems section. We notice that the time between 2:28 and 2:42Z was auto-timetracked as "none" probably due to imager biases during spectro exposures? Note to Dan for timetracking accounting. 04:45Z finished plate 2976 in 6x1200s (with 1x1200s from last night) on to cart 2 plate 1983. No guide stars. fk5 glow found and centered. 05:57Z finished in three exposures. on to cart 4 plate 1997. GSOTGTF. 06:58Z finished with two additional exposures. On to cart 6 plate 2003. 08:03Z done in 3 exposures. On to cart 1 plate 1955. GSOTGTF. 09:12Z finished in 3 exposures. On to cart 7 plate 1768. No GSOTGTF, but an alt offset found them. 10:19Z finished in 3 exposures - on to cart 8 plate 1706. GSOTGTF. 11:08Z Finished with 2 additional exposures - on to cart 9 plate 1651. GSOTGTF, but only one. We are in the Zone of Avoidance (TM), so decide to wait a few minutes to be able to successfully center up (we had time). Well-done in two additional exposures. 8 plates with a combined S/N^2 of 143.8 (9.5-11 plate equivalents). :> Seeing just this side of bad for imaging and non-photometric for middle part of night. endNight rejoiced. ---=== IMAGING RUN SUMMARY ===--- Run Time Stripe Lambda Last Flavor Comments Start End Begin End Frame ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5196 00:55Z 01:11Z 100 O -106.13 -102.30 37 ignore 5197 01:43Z 01:46Z 100 O -94.34 -93.36 20 ignore 5198 02:11Z 02:29Z 100 O -87.08 -82.70 43 ignore 5199 03:04Z 03:48Z 100 O -73.99 -62.81 23 ignore ---=== 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): y UT Exp Time flavor comment (S/N)^2 totals ========================================== b1 r1 b2 r2 ----- sequence 31339, plate -9999 ------- 23:48 31339 0.0 bias 00:33 31340 0.0 bias ----- sequence 31341, plate 2076 ------- 00:37 31341 10.0 flat 00:39 31342 2.0 arc 00:46 31343 2.1 arc 00:49 31344 2.1 arc 01:21 31346 0.0 bias 01:24 31348 0.0 bias 02:15 31349 10.0 flat 02:18 31350 2.0 arc 02:41 31351 1200.1 target 03:04 31352 1200.1 target 03:27 31353 1200.1 target 03:50 31354 1200.1 target 04:14 31355 1200.1 target 04:37 31356 1200.1 target DONE ----- sequence 31357, plate 1983 ------- 04:53 31357 10.0 flat 04:55 31358 2.0 arc 05:13 31359 900.1 target 05:31 31360 900.1 target 05:50 31361 900.1 target DONE ----- sequence 31362, plate 1997 ------- 06:00 31362 10.0 flat 06:03 31363 2.0 arc 06:23 31364 1000.1 target 06:46 31365 1200.1 target 06:49 31366 10.0 flat 06:52 31367 2.0 arc DONE ----- sequence 31368, plate 2003 ------- 07:03 31368 10.0 flat 07:06 31369 2.0 arc 07:26 31370 1000.1 target 07:42 31371 800.1 target 07:57 31372 720.1 target DONE ----- sequence 31373, plate 1955 ------- 08:08 31373 10.0 flat 08:10 31374 2.0 arc 08:27 31375 800.1 target 08:45 31376 900.1 target 09:04 31377 1000.2 target DONE ----- sequence 31378, plate 1768 ------- 09:17 31378 10.0 flat 09:20 31379 2.0 arc 09:36 31380 800.1 target 09:53 31381 800.1 target 10:09 31382 800.1 target DONE ----- sequence 31383, plate 1706 ------- 10:21 31383 10.0 flat 10:23 31384 2.0 arc 10:40 31385 800.1 target 10:59 31386 1000.1 target DONE ----- sequence 31387, plate 1651 ------- 11:23 31387 10.0 flat 11:26 31388 2.0 arc 11:46 31389 900.1 target 12:03 31390 900.1 target DONE ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE I ===--- Time Instrument Az Alt Rot Scale pos offset pos offset pos offset ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 02:20Z 3 0 41.61 -0.0007 57.37 0.0043 214.13 0.0064 1.000170 04:50Z 2 1983 101.82 0.0001 67.77 0.0073 -93.21 0.0266 1.000200 05:58Z 4 1997 113.12 -0.0002 71.71 0.0068 -79.55 0.0124 1.000200 07:01Z 6 2003 109.90 -0.0022 76.90 0.0057 -78.91 0.0197 1.000230 08:06Z 1 1955 259.41 0.0012 63.07 0.0036 97.31 -0.0102 1.000250 09:15Z 7 1768 -43.28 -0.0010 66.94 0.0010 143.25 -0.0124 1.000110 10:18Z 8 0 -17.38 -0.0038 69.63 0.0022 164.93 0.0011 1.000180 11:28Z 9 1651 -60.96 0.0034 84.30 0.0022 121.90 0.0729 1.000150 ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE II ===--- ---=== DATA TAPE SUMMARY ===--- Goes: JL8390 Stays: JL8391 ---=== FOCUS LOG ===--- setmir piston Temp Wind Time Inst scale M1 M2 Foc Az Alt (C) MPH Dir filt fwhm ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 03:08Z 3 2076 1.00017 -1678 -83 160 20 62.6 6.3 22 266 gdr 1.7 04:50Z 2 1983 1.00020 -1974 -349 150 102 67.8 5.8 15 296 gdr 1.8 05:58Z 4 1997 1.00020 -1974 -356 150 113 71.7 4.7 18 317 gdr 1.9 07:01Z 6 2003 1.00023 -2270 -628 130 110 76.9 4.7 15 325 gdr 1.7 08:06Z 1 1955 1.00025 -2468 -799 100 259 63.1 4.2 10 337 gdr 1.6 09:15Z 7 1768 1.00011 -1086 288 50 -43 67.0 3.7 15 330 gdr 1.4 10:18Z 8 1706 1.00018 -1778 -290 50 -17 69.6 2.8 18 312 gdr 1.5 11:28Z 9 1651 1.00015 -1480 -21 90 -61 84.3 2.2 13 311 gdr 1.3 ---=== WEATHER LOG ===--- Wind Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust DIMM Sky 23:31Z 51 18 10 269 (W) 593 -

(ArchDrvSts reported no tape in drive, archReadSense reported alles okay.) We ejected the tape (takes two, you know), put it back in and tried again. The tape drive spat the tape out when re-mounted. We put in a new tape and tried again. This time a new tapeLoad worked, but things failed again once data were taken. ~1:04Z Meanwhile, sp1 stopped displaying spectra on the monitors, so we added the sp crate to the reboot list and started rebooting im and sp crates. Many incantations followed (with help from the Loomis), but things started working again after some delay after an archReset and archInit. We eventually got id1-2 working, but attempts to revive id1-1 (even with new tapes) failed.
