APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Monday January 19, 2009 (MJD 54851) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Dmitry Bizyaev Elena Malanushenko ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Science! 19 Jan 2009 54851.0 0.37 BOSS/SEGUE 10.8 hours ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- It was clouds at the beginning of last night and clear for the rest of night with variable seeing. During the photometric condition with good seeing there were no available imaging stripes. We were doing the spectroscopy for whole night. One plate 3212 (cart 3) is done. We obtained very good signal for four other plates 3211, 3206, 3186, 3208. We replaced FF lamp. Integral dust counts were 17K with humidity mostly below 30%. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: ---------- ntp_check ok iccSoundOff ok imager bias ok spectro bias ok apo_plotbias, 58172 Filename 02% 05% 10% 50% 90% 95% 98% ------------------- ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ sdR-b1-00058172.fit -5.6 -4.1 -3.1 2.2 7.4 8.7 10.6 sdR-b2-00058172.fit -8.4 -6.2 -4.7 1.4 7.6 8.9 11.2 sdR-r1-00058172.fit -6.8 -5.6 -3.6 1.4 6.4 8.4 9.6 sdR-r2-00058172.fit -7.8 -5.7 -4.7 0.8 6.1 7.9 10.0 Both sp1, sp2 are in-spec at +3.3C. 23:20 ventilation started, louvers opened cart. 7 is mounted.
