APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Tuesday October 3, 2006 (MJD 54012) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Observer: Howard Brewington ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- superNova Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- 82 S -startLambda 115 -endLambda -125 (does not include 2-degree ramps) 82 N -startLambda -149 -endLambda -131 (does not include 2-degree ramps) I left the imager mounted; French knows. I also left a cartridge on the cart just inside the 2.5-meter enclosure. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: ----------------- The checkout was uneventful. Night: ----------------- 02:00Z As twilight ended, I slewed to 82,S -startLambda 115.

Fritz said that there was a problem with the terminal server and that he was working on a fix. 07:00Z Connie asked that I kill the spectro server as a means of stopping the ongoing Critical Error messages/emails. It worked! Thanks Connie. 10:08Z I lost about seven minutes because of a mistake with Run 6434. I forgot to change S to N in the scanStripe command as I slewed back to get more data. Sorry. 10:15Z Run 6435 82,N -startLambda -149 -endLambda -131 (does not include 2-degree ramps) See imagingDetials for more info. astrom> skippy 6435 25 4 THETAF = 0.0114 degrees, 41.16 arcsec CT = 0.39604 arcsec/pixel SCALEF = 16.5967 arcsec/mm AMU0 = 37.6283 degrees ANU0 = 0.0002 degrees NCAT = 73 NSTARS = 54 AZ = 223.1503 degrees EL = 48.5869 degrees raBoreErr: -2.7", decBoreErr: 0.6" azErr: 3.8", elErr: -1.1" muErr: -2.7", nuErr: 0.6" astrom> During this run, we had the same problem from last night with missing frames.
