APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Sunday December 24, 2006 (MJD 54094) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Olena & Viktor Malanushenko (Days & Observers) ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- Difficult weather's conditions tonight! (strong wind, high humidity, precipitations). We observed four plates. One of them is declared as DONE, and only for the one of others we had accumulated S/N. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: ---------- No problems, Spectro focus was checked but not adjusted; they are set to a temp of about -4.5 degrees C. The focus numbers are posted in the Problems Section. Night: ----------- We have had delay with opening because of high wind. 00:30Z started ventilation, opened doors & louvers. 01:35Z enclosure opened. Cart. 7 Plate 2622 segue154, no used FK5. Seeing more 3 arcsec. 1st exposure 1200 sec, declared as bad. Cart. 3 Plate 2638 baotest157, no used FK5. Seeing between 3-4 arcsec. 1st exp. 1500 sec, 2nd exp. 1500 sec, both declared as bed. 04:28Z stop vent., closed enclosure, doors etc. : high humidity & wind. Approximately at 07:25Z - precipitation (small snowing) 09:40Z opened doors, louvers, started ventilation. Cart 4 Plate 2390 segue 133, no used FK5 10:41Z 1st exp. 1500 sec. 11:09Z 2nd exp. 1500 sec.
