APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Thursday December 22, 2005 (MJD 53727) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Swing: Dan Long Night: Elena Malanushenko Jurek Krzesinski Viktor Malanushenko (training) ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- Two plates done: 2322 and 2290. No major problems tonigh. By a mistake we answered to endNight "yes" when it asked if PT data should be processed while we had no PT data - sorry. Problems: Guider: sop got a hudge delay passing startGuider command to tcc several times tonight (gcam doread issued form tcc worked immediately). system status window run from MCP does not show calibration lamp status, while system status run from watcher does. WHY? ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: Spectro focus checked. No changes made. Still set for between 3 and 4 C. No problems encountered during checkout. 23:00Z Doors Open, Fans On, Louvers Open 00:15Z Enclosure Open ----------------------------------- Night: We noticed that "system status" run from MCP does not show calibration lamp state while the one run from watcher does show it. 01:15Z cart 2 plt 2328. SOGTF. Third and fourth exposure didn't make it (clouds) -both were declared bad. Some signal collected. 04:04Z cart 1 plt 2322. SOGTF. The guider couldn't start for a long time. Every time we issued sopGui startGuider command from sop, the command was not passed immediately to tcc. From within tcc gcam doread worked just fine. Plate Done. 05:53Z cart 7 plt 2070. Fk5 used to find the guide stars. Good signal collected on that plate. 06:57Z cart 6 plt 2290. Fk5 used to find the guide stars. Guider delay again. plate done. 08:53Z cart 5 plt 2360. SOGTF. CLOUDS -no signal on this plate. Moon + clouds till the end of the night. endnight done. ---=== IMAGING RUN SUMMARY ===--- Run Time Stripe Lambda Last Flavor Comments Start End Begin End Frame ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5951 21:32Z 21:45Z 100 O 123.73 126.99 36 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 35702, plate -9999 ------- 16:56 35702 0.0 bias 21:27 35703 0.0 bias ----- sequence 35704, plate 2339 ------- 21:34 35704 10.0 flat 21:36 35705 2.0 arc 21:40 35706 2.1 arc 21:43 35707 2.1 arc ----- sequence 35708, plate -9999 ------- 23:17 35708 0.0 bias 00:04 35709 0.0 bias ----- sequence 35709, plate 2328 ------- 01:12 35710 10.0 flat 01:14 35711 2.0 arc 01:34 35712 900.1 target 01:52 35713 900.1 target 02:15 35714 1200.1 target 02:38 35715 1200.1 target 02:41 35716 10.0 flat 02:44 35717 2.0 arc 03:55 35718 1500.1 target ----- sequence 35719, plate 2322 ------- 04:11 35719 10.0 flat 04:13 35720 2.0 arc 04:45 35721 1500.1 target 05:13 35722 1500.1 target 05:43 35723 1600.1 target ----- sequence 35724, plate 2070 ------- 05:58 35724 10.0 flat 06:01 35725 2.0 arc 06:20 35726 900.1 target 06:48 35727 1500.1 target ----- sequence 35728, plate 2290 ------- 07:08 35728 10.0 flat 07:10 35729 2.0 arc 07:30 35730 900.1 target 07:57 35731 1500.1 target 08:25 35732 1500.1 target 08:44 35733 900.1 target ----- sequence 35734, plate 2360 ------- 08:58 35734 10.0 flat 09:01 35735 2.0 arc 09:29 35736 1500.1 target 09:57 35737 1500.1 target 10:11 35738 700.1 target ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE I ===--- Time Instrument Az Alt Rot Scale pos offset pos offset pos offset ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 01:23Z imager 18.53 0.0005 55.84 0.0059 195.42 0.0134 1.000200 06:30Z imager -39.62 -0.0019 42.55 0.0025 147.26 -0.0339 1.000150 07:14Z 6 2290 86.81 0.0023 48.48 0.0054 244.77 -0.0104 1.000270 ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE II ===--- ---=== DATA TAPE SUMMARY ===--- Goes: JL Stays: JL ---=== FOCUS LOG ===--- setmir piston Temp Wind Time Inst scale M1 M2 Foc Az Alt (C) MPH Dir filt fwhm ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 01:23Z 2 2328 1.00020 -1975 -421 50 19 55.8 5.0 2 3 grd 2" 06:30Z 7 2070 1.00015 -1481 -70 -50 -40 42.6 5.9 19 306 gdr 1.4 07:14Z 6 2290 1.00027 -2666 -1040 -20 87 48.5 5.9 19 330 gdr 1.8 ---=== WEATHER LOG ===--- Wind Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust DIMM Sky 21:16Z 44 17 11 353 (NNW) 174 - Patchy Cirrus 21:47Z 44 17 6 3 (N) 198 - Cirrus 22:17Z 46 15 5 5 (N) 195 - Cirrus 22:48Z 43 18 6 3 (N) 493 - Thick Cirrus 23:20Z 43 15 0 36 (NE) 174 - Thick Cirrus 23:52Z 42 15 1 10 (N) 93 - Partly Cloudy 00:23Z 42 13 6 354 (NNW) 231 - Thick Cirrus 00:31Z 42 14 1 354 (NNW) 116 - 01:03Z 41 13 4 357 (NNW) 71 - 01:35Z 41 12 4 356 (NNW) 62 - 02:05Z 42 12 7 335 (NNW) 68 - 02:36Z 42 13 3 347 (NNW) 69 - 03:08Z 42 14 9 321 (NW) 75 - 03:40Z 39 14 4 0 (N) 106 - 04:14Z 41 14 4 301 (WNW) 203 - 04:46Z 41 15 14 293 (WNW) 256 - 05:18Z 41 16 13 298 (WNW) 258 - 05:48Z 43 16 17 295 (WNW) 290 - 06:18Z 43 16 15 309 (NW) 287 - 06:50Z 42 16 14 304 (NW) 303 - 07:23Z 41 15 18 306 (NW) 323 - 07:55Z 42 15 14 289 (WNW) 276 - 08:27Z 41 15 11 321 (NW) 266 - 08:59Z 42 15 12 330 (NNW) 233 - 09:29Z 41 15 8 307 (NW) 236 - 09:59Z 40 15 13 321 (NW) 245 - 10:31Z 40 15 14 340 (NNW) 308 - 11:04Z 41 15 18 330 (NNW) 219 - 11:36Z 41 14 9 355 (NNW) 226 - ---=== TELESCOPE STATUS ===--- 23:00Z Doors Open, Fans On, Louvers Open 00:15Z Enclosure Open 00:20Z Tlescope opened, dewars refilled. 12:40 Telescope closed, dewars refilled. ---=== SOFTWARE USED ===--- IOP/SOP: v4_9_2a Watcher: v2_31_0 MCP: v5_26_0 TPM: tpm_v3_1_0 AstroDa: v15_10 TCC: TCC 2.7.2.1 August 6 2004 sdssProcedures: SoS: v5_1_0 hoggPT: v1_6_9 plate-mapper: v4_3_1 ---=== MIRROR NUMBERS ===--- PRIMARY: -------- Scale: 1.000000 MIGS TONIGHT NOMINAL Axial A -5.8370 -5.8440 Axial B -5.6790 -5.6770 Axial C 0.9400 0.9420 Trans D -10.0000 -9.9940 Lateral E 10.3505 10.3759 Lateral F 11.9380 11.9380 GALILS Commanded: 4700. -2450. 3000. -7800. 3300. 3000.
