APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Saturday November 8, 2008 (MJD 54779) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===-- Howard Brewington (observer) Dmitry Bizyaev (observer) ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- Added signal to plates: 3076 A and B 3077 A and B 3075 B There was a problem with fields A and B of plate 3080; see log. There was also a problem with field B of plate 3082; see log. Declared Cart 07, plate 3161 DONE, but we did not have it unplugged since we have no other late-night plates we can finish in 1.5-hours tomorrow night. One could, however, add bonus siginal to 3161 tomorrow night or give the 1.5-hours to MARVELS. We also declared cart 04, plate 3128 DONE; it can be unplugged. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: ---------- No problems discovered during the afternoon checkout. Spectro focus checked but not adjusted; they're set for about ~2.0-degrees C. Per Dan's request, we tried the instLift again in autoMode; however, it's still unhappy. The time we tested the auto side was 23:30Z to 23:32Z. We switched back to the manual side and mounted a cart at 23:33Z. Hope that helps Dan! 22:05Z Doors and louvers opened; fan on Night: ---------- 00:00Z Enclosure off, topped-off spectro secondary dewars, checked top/bottom balance, did a test slew, checked fiducial crossings for each axis, and started the DIMM. 00:03Z Sunset 00:46Z Cart 09, 3076-B (MARVEL). And FK 5 was used to find field in bright twilight. Completed one fifty-minute exposure and a cal. 01:27Z Twilight ended 02:04Z Cart 09, 3076-A (MARVEL). Field was found with goToField. Completed one fifty-minute exposure and a cal. 03:17Z Cart 03, 3077-A (MARVEL). Field was found with an FK5 star. Completed one fifty-minute exposure and a cal. 04:33Z Cart 03, 3077-B (MARVEL). Field was found with goToField. As lAst night, we only had three guide stars; however, fibers three and nine had stars just beyond the edge of their fields. Completed one fifty-minute exposure and a cal. 05:35Z Cart 08, 3075-B (MARVEL). Field was found with goToField. Completed one fifty-minute exposure and a cal. 06:38Z Cart 01, 3080-A (MARVEL). Field was found with an FK5. Completed one fifty-minute exposures and a cal. There was a problem with this field, i.e., only a few stars were found. 07:50Z Cart 01, 3080-B (MARVEL). Field was found with goToField. Completed one 25-minute exposure and a cal. There was also a problem with this field, i.e., only a few stars were found. 08:30Z Cart 06, 3082-B (MARVEL). Field was found with goToField. Completed one fifty-minute exposure and a cal. There seems to be a problem with the 308* numbered plates since we found few stars at this field. 09:08Z Cart 07, 3161 (Segue). Field was found with goToField. 09:19 56343 10.0 flat 09:22 56344 2.0 arc 09:57 56345 1800.0 target 10:30 56346 1800.0 target 10:34 56347 10.0 flat 10:36 56348 2.0 arc 11:11 56349 1800.0 target 11:44 56350 1800.0 target 11:47 56351 10.0 flat 11:50 56352 2.0 arc 12:04Z Morning twilight 12:22 56353 1500.0 target MJD b1 r1 b2 r2 Texp ------------------------------------- 54776 2.2 1.7 2.4 1.0 1800.0 54776 1.9 1.8 2.1 1.0 1501.0 54777 3.7 2.8 3.9 2.0 1801.0 54777 5.2 3.3 6.0 2.0 1800.0 54777 6.5 3.5 8.6 2.9 1800.0 54777 7.5 3.9 11.9 4.9 1800.0 54778 9.6 4.3 9.9 4.5 1801.0 54778 11.9 4.8 13.1 5.2 1800.0 54778 11.0 4.5 12.1 5.4 1801.0 54778 12.1 4.6 13.5 5.4 1800.0 54778 10.2 4.2 10.7 4.8 1800.0 54779 11.4 4.0 11.6 4.4 1800.0 54779 11.2 4.1 12.0 4.1 1800.0 54779 12.9 4.6 14.2 4.8 1800.0 54779 13.2 4.4 15.2 4.5 1800.0 54779 11.2 4.1 12.1 4.4 1500.0 Total: 141.7 60.6 159.3 61.3 28204.0 Total when ALL b,r values > 2.0: 137.6 57.1 154.8 59.3 24903.0 Plate 3161 was declared DONE; however, it was not unplugged since we have no late-night plates that can be finished in the 1.5-hours available for Segue tomorrow night.
