APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Tuesday October 16, 2007 (MJD 54390) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Audrey Simmons (swing) Howard Brewington Shannon Watters ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- We acquired partial signal on cart 2. We imaged SNe strip 82 S from lambda=120.75 to 132.90 and from lambda=-173 to -123 (all including ramps). AD1 crashed during the start of science for our first run (7066) so we had to end the drift and reboot the astrometric crate (the run is useless). We also had to stop our second run (7067) soon after starting because Skippy wasn't finding any stars and the focus loop seemed "confused" (the fiducials were good though). We had to close for a few hours in the middle of the night because of orographic clouds. We didn't restart the DIMM when we reopened because it was so windy that the seeing measurement's scatter was too large to be useful. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: ---------- Monx3 was hung up when I came in. It was rebooted several times, but the login window didnt show up until an hour later. It is working now. I had trouble grabbing the instruments again after my sop session closed and the servers restarted. I killed the process number and logged out of the ports, and everything seemed to work again. Deleted MJD 54385 from database to save disk space. Set spectrographs for 7C. 23:40Z - Started ventilation. Night: ------ 01:00Z Cart 2, plate 2821, seguefaint167.
