APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Friday October 16, 2009 (MJD 55121) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Audrey Simmons Steph Snedden Kyle Dawson (U ofU) Alex Kim (LBL) ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- BOSS Science - Imaging if conditions warrant, else spectroscopy. ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- Another good night for BOSS imaging. Imaging: ------- Run Strip lambda range --- ---- ------------ 8107 bias 8108 73 S 143 to 179 incl. ramps - DONE 8109 71 S 143 to 167 incl. ramps - DONE 8110 71 N 143 to 176 incl. ramps - DONE 8111 69 S 165 to -165 incl. ramps (not yet done) 8112 69 N -173.5 to -153 incl. ramps (not yet done) Imager dewar has one more fill left, then will need to be changed. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: ---------- We ran into some problems mounting the imager, and wound up calling Dan. 1) saddle latch 1 LED did not go on when latched once, but the latch itself moved. On a subsequent try, it was okay. 2) The instrument ID switches said cart 5, when we really had the imager on. We had to use the manual side of the lift control (we called Dan first).

We moved the counterweights back, moved up to 30 deg. alt and rechecked tha balance after the 10-liter dewar fill. Counterweights were set to 680 for the imager. Imaging - Run 8107 - On-telescope bias ====================================== Imaging - Run 8108 - 73 S ========================= ScanStripe to lambda 143 01:41Z - Started drift at lambda 140 Skippy good from the start Focus in spec by frame 16 01:53Z - Frame 29 lambda 143 - start of ramp Seeing about 1.5" FWHM 02:01Z - Frame 42 lambda 145 - start of science Seeing went to about 1.8" around frame 60, then went back down to 1.5". Seeing continued to improve until we were subarcsecond. The IR camera indicated we were marginally non-photometric at around 03:10Z, but we don't think it was real. The camera was making gain changes frequently. 03:43Z - seeing blew up from frame 191 to 209, but was less than 2.0" FWHM Seeing stabilized at 1.5" for the rest of the run. 04:09Z - Frame 255, lambda 177 - end of science 04:17Z - Frame 268, lambda 179 - end of ramp Imaging - Run 8109 - 71 S ========================== 04:18Z - ScanStripe to lambda 141.5 04:21Z - goDrift Focus in spec from the beginning Skippy in spec from the beginning 04:26Z - Frame 15 lambda 143 - start of ramp Seeing: 1.2" FWHM 04:34Z - Frame 28 lambda 145 - start of science 05:54Z - Frame 162 lambda 165 - end of science With one very brief excursion to about 1.8" around frame 110, seeing stayed at 1.5" or lower. 06:02Z - Frame 175 lambda 167 - end of ramp Imaging - Run 8110 - 71 N ========================= 06:04Z - ScanStripe to lambda 141.5 06:05Z - goDrift Focus in spec from the beginning Skippy in spec from the beginning 06:10Z - Frame 15 lambda 143 - start of ramp 06:18Z - Frame 29 lambda 145 - start of science 08:14Z - Frame 222 lambda 174 - end of science 08:22Z - Frame 236 lambda 176 - end of ramp Seeing blew up from frames 70 to 94, but stayed below 2'FWHM except for one or two frames.
