APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Saturday January 23, 2010 (MJD 55220) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Alaina Shelden Kaike Pan Jon Brinkmann (phone support) Steph Snedden (STUI messenger support) ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Snow Removal! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- Did not open due to weather and leaking telescope. Telescope was not moved *at all* tonight, absorbent pads still in place from last night. As of now, generator is on, no utility power. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: ----------- 00:09Z We have at least a foot of snow on the ground and high winds. The clouds may clear up. We also still have the glycol problem, and cannot move the telescope. Note: The mcpMenu came up unavailable. 00:15Z restarted servers 00:22Z All actors present and accounted for, and all happy. 00:27Z sp1 temp= -119.6C, -99.6C sp2 temp= -121.5C, -101.6C Night: ------ 00:35Z hub startNubs mcp followed by mcp info returned "mcp not connected" so we're checking the laptop at the telescope. 00:41Z Power went out. Utility is trying to take over, but it's not stable. 00:58Z Checked guages. Chillar pressure and telescope cooling system both 0 00:59Z Power flicker, new snow seems to be falling. 01:35Z spectro temps ok 01:47Z mcp problem solved: ctrl +x to reboot the mcpMenu enter soft (repeat with hard if it doesn't work) when mcpMenu comes back, hub startNubs mcp mcp info 01:53Z Power flicker 02:37Z spectro temps ok 03:23Z Power flicker 03:35Z spectro temps ok 05:02Z spectro temps ok 05:38Z spectro temps ok 06:29Z Power out for few seconds 06:39Z Power flicker 06:39Z spectro temps ok 07:32Z spectro temps ok 08:27Z spectro temps ok 09:28Z spectro temps ok 10:27Z spectro temps ok 11:06Z Power out for ~ 30 sec before generator came/stayed on 11:40Z spectro temps ok 12:33Z spectro temps ok 12:55Z endNight finished, and there was much rejoicing. Yay. 13:08Z All guages same as this afternoon. ---=== 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 ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE I ===--- Time Instrument Az Alt Rot Scale pos offset pos offset pos offset ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE II ===--- ---=== FOCUS LOG ===--- setmir piston Temp Wind Time Inst scale M1 M2 Foc Az Alt (C) MPH Dir filt fwhm ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---=== WEATHER LOG ===--- Wind Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust DIMM Sky 00:06Z 20 16 26 277 (W) 326 - clouds, blowing snow 00:39Z 20 16 15 290 (WNW) 1913 - 01:13Z 19 16 16 298 (WNW) 1260 - 01:43Z 19 16 11 265 (W) 1253 - 02:17Z 19 15 12 295 (WNW) 1709 - 02:51Z 19 15 14 274 (W) 681 - 03:25Z 19 15 9 319 (NW) 660 - 03:56Z 18 14 13 306 (NW) 590 - 04:29Z 18 14 11 326 (NW) 619 - 05:00Z 18 13 4 320 (NW) 64 - 05:34Z 18 13 9 20 (NNE) 76 - 06:04Z 17 12 0 184 (S) 64 - 06:37Z 17 13 1 198 (SSW) 89 - 07:07Z 17 13 8 312 (NW) 70 - 07:41Z 17 13 9 336 (NNW) 77 - 08:11Z 17 13 14 297 (WNW) 863 - 08:45Z 16 12 18 301 (WNW) 803 - 09:15Z 16 12 11 313 (NW) 1359 - 09:46Z 16 12 21 326 (NW) 56 - 10:16Z 16 11 23 321 (NW) 137 - 10:46Z 16 11 18 313 (NW) 60 - 11:17Z 15 11 16 331 (NNW) 76 - 11:51Z 15 11 23 321 (NW) 1227 - 12:24Z 15 11 6 325 (NW) 305 - clouds, humid 12:55Z 15 11 9 317 (NW) 839 - ---=== TELESCOPE STATUS ===--- Did not open due to weather and telescope leak.
