APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Thursday March 5, 2009 (MJD 54896) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Viktor Malanusheno Elena Malanushenko Kaike Pan (Swing) Nathan De Lee (MARVELS) ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- Overcast for whole night. We did not get any useful signal. Telescope is ok. Spectro dewar needs to be changed after next fill. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: ---------- All systems were checked and working properly. The spectro focus ws checked but no adjustment made. The best focus is set for about 9 C. 00:00Z started ventilation. Night: ----- Overcast. We need to wait. 6:40Z We have some hope to get better weather soon. Enclosure is off. Cart 4 plate 3091b. Clouds but with some holes. Use FK5 to find the guider stars. Seeing is 1.8" Efficiency ~15%. Signal is not enough to observe. We are still waiting. 11:50Z - low clouds and possible precipitations Enclosure is on. endNight is finished. ---=== IMAGING RUN SUMMARY ===--- Run Time Stripe Lambda Last Flavor Comments Start End Begin End Frame ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---=== 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): QA Procedures Done (y/n): UT Exp Time flavor comment (S/N)^2 totals ========================================== b1 r1 b2 r2 ----- sequence 59605, plate -9999 ------- 23:28 59605 0.0 bias ----- sequence 59606, plate 3245 ------- 23:36 59606 10.0 flat 23:38 59607 2.0 arc 23:42 59608 3.0 arc 23:45 59609 2.0 arc ----- sequence 59610, plate -9999 ------- 00:20 59610 0.0 bias 00:29 59611 0.0 bias ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE I ===--- Time Instrument Az Alt Rot Scale pos offset pos offset pos offset ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 07:14Z 4 3091 224.14 0.0121 77.73 0.0019 51.01 0.0000 1.000000 ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE II ===--- ---=== FOCUS LOG ===--- setmir piston Temp Wind Time Inst scale M1 M2 Foc Az Alt (C) MPH Dir filt fwhm ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 07:14Z 4 3091 1.00000 1 1170 50 224 77.8 6.2 15 234 -- 1.8" ---=== WEATHER LOG ===--- Wind Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust DIMM Sky 23:24Z 47 17 23 255 (WSW) 226 - 23:55Z 46 18 16 245 (WSW) 190 - 00:28Z 46 18 18 241 (WSW) 188 - 01:00Z 45 18 18 250 (WSW) 177 - 01:32Z 46 18 18 244 (WSW) 204 - 02:04Z 46 18 16 260 (W) 244 - 02:36Z 46 18 19 265 (W) 390 - 03:09Z 45 17 13 265 (W) 495 - 03:41Z 44 18 13 269 (W) 360 - 04:13Z 44 19 10 262 (W) 352 - 04:45Z 44 19 17 267 (W) 389 - 05:17Z 44 19 13 251 (WSW) 467 - 05:50Z 44 18 15 242 (WSW) 354 - 06:22Z 44 18 18 230 (SW) 280 - 06:54Z 43 18 14 234 (SW) 365 - 07:24Z 42 18 12 236 (SW) 384 - 07:55Z 44 18 19 240 (WSW) 268 - 08:28Z 44 18 16 241 (WSW) 200 - 09:00Z 43 18 19 231 (SW) 225 - 09:32Z 43 18 15 231 (SW) 194 - 10:04Z 42 18 15 219 (SW) 201 - 10:37Z 43 18 15 235 (SW) 220 - 11:09Z 42 18 12 262 (W) 239 - 11:41Z 42 20 21 265 (W) 173 - ---=== TELESCOPE STATUS ===--- 00:00Z - Began ventilation.
