APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Tuesday June 10, 2008 (MJD 54628) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Elena Malanushenko (observer) Viktor Malanushenko (observer) Audrey Simmons (swing) French Leger (support) ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- The night was mostly clear with variable seeing 1.2" - 2.2". We finished one segueFaint plate 2318 and got good signal on two other plates 2716, 2902. We will ask BY to estimate S/N for plate 2902. We had serious problem with TLC system and lost ~1.5 hours for fixing it with French's help. (see log section). Integrated dust is 21K with 15-30% of humidity. Spectro dewar is low weight. Please, change it the morning. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: ---------- The ad2 monitor in the control room is still out and needs replacing. No problems during checkout. Set collimation for ~15C tonight. Mounted cart 8, 2716. 01:15Z - Started ventilating with the doors and louvers open, fans on. Night: ------ 02:20Z - Enclosure off.

(y for Yes) Only 0 Ne and 0 HgCd lamps are on; quitting sp1> 07:18:32Z We noted that all indicators in interlock window were red, APO weather station showed the enclosure was closed. We checked the telescope and found that all stop buttons were blinking, all lamps on interlock crate in the basement were blinking also, and there was asmell of burning. We called French and he found that TLC was in wrong stage and rebooted TLC and MCP. We found out that HgCd and Ne lamps did not come on, French replaced its burned fuse. We rebooted MCP several times, set fiducials, reconnected tcc, and our systems started to work again. Some messages of watcher see in 'problems' section. We could not find out ourself how to deal with this problem without French's help. By this time cart 7 is expired and we moved to another cart. 08:48:07Z Cart 9 2318 09:03:58Z preCalib 09:08:01Z doNextScience 1800 15.0 8.6 13.6 11.3 09:42:15Z doNextScience 1800 10:15 postCal endNight is finished. ---=== IMAGING RUN SUMMARY ===--- Run Time Stripe Lambda Last Flavor Comments Start End Begin End Frame ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7552 00:07Z 00:24Z 100 O -29.23 -24.98 40 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 53461, plate 2318 ------- 00:11 53461 0.0 bias 00:17 53462 10.0 flat 00:19 53463 2.0 arc 00:23 53464 3.0 arc 00:25 53465 2.0 arc ----- sequence 53466, plate -9999 ------- 01:13 53466 0.0 bias 01:31 53467 0.0 bias ----- sequence 53468, plate 2716 ------- 03:10 53468 10.0 flat 03:12 53469 2.0 arc 03:33 53470 10.0 flat 03:36 53471 2.0 arc 04:07 53472 1501.0 target 1.0 3.5 0.9 1.9 04:35 53473 1500.0 target 0.9 4.2 1.3 3.5 05:04 53474 1500.0 target 1.0 4.0 1.0 2.4 05:07 53475 10.0 flat 05:09 53476 2.0 arc ----- sequence 53477, plate 2902 ------- 05:30 53477 10.0 flat 05:32 53478 2.0 arc 06:01 53479 1501.0 target 3.9 2.8 2.4 7.4 06:29 53480 1501.0 target 3.5 2.9 1.8 6.7 07:03 53481 1802.0 target 4.0 1.0 2.0 12.0 07:06 53482 10.0 flat 07:08 53483 2.0 arc ----- sequence 53484, plate 2178 ------- 07:21 53484 10.0 flat ----- sequence 53485, plate 2318 ------- 09:03 53485 2.0 arc 09:06 53486 10.0 flat 09:40 53487 1800.0 target 15.0 8.6 13.6 11.3 10:14 53488 1800.0 target 10:17 53489 10.0 flat 10:20 53490 2.0 arc ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE I ===--- Time Instrument Az Alt Rot Scale pos offset pos offset pos offset ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 03:27Z 8 2716 6.23 0.0004 47.81 0.0048 185.26 0.0126 1.000080 06:38Z 6 2902 -46.53 -0.0011 55.97 0.0048 141.99 0.0142 1.000240 09:50Z 9 2318 0.26 0.0002 45.83 0.0049 180.16 0.0220 1.000500 ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE II ===--- ---=== FOCUS LOG ===--- setmir piston Temp Wind Time Inst scale M1 M2 Foc Az Alt (C) MPH Dir filt fwhm ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 03:27Z 8 2716 1.00008 -790 234 -300 6 47.8 20.3 18 226 --- 1.2" 06:38Z 6 2902 1.00024 -2370 -899 -100 -47 56.0 17.5 16 210 --- 1.4" 09:49Z 9 2318 1.00050 -4938 -2992 -100 0 45.8 17.2 22 270 --- 2.0" ---=== WEATHER LOG ===--- Wind Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust DIMM Sky 23:58Z 73 24 25 200 (SSW) 1655 - 00:29Z 74 23 22 216 (SW) 1871 - 00:59Z 73 21 23 214 (SW) 1746 - 01:31Z 71 21 13 263 (W) 1739 - 02:02Z 69 20 18 235 (SW) 1719 - 02:35Z 68 19 15 216 (SW) 1654 - 03:06Z 68 20 17 226 (SW) 2203 - 03:37Z 68 20 17 216 (SW) 2167 - 04:07Z 68 21 15 213 (SSW) 2261 - 04:38Z 68 23 13 227 (SW) 2152 - 05:08Z 66 23 16 260 (W) 2280 - 05:39Z 65 22 14 253 (WSW) 2429 - 06:10Z 65 21 10 246 (WSW) 2447 - 06:41Z 63 22 18 213 (SSW) 2508 - 07:12Z 62 30 15 200 (SSW) 3199 - 07:43Z 62 27 9 226 (SW) 3200 - 08:15Z 61 25 12 249 (WSW) 2900 - 08:46Z 62 21 13 252 (WSW) 2679 - 09:16Z 63 21 17 264 (W) 2665 - 09:47Z 63 21 19 268 (W) 2707 - 10:17Z 62 20 19 264 (W) 2565 - 10:49Z 61 20 13 261 (W) 2814 - ---=== TELESCOPE STATUS ===--- 01:15Z - Began ventilation.
