APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Monday February 22, 2010 (MJD 55250) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Viktor Malanushenko Howard Brewington Kaike Pan (afternoon) ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- MARVELS and BOSS Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- The night was lost to clouds, snow, wind, and high humidity. We did the sparse-plugged tests again with the new instructions. NOTE: We need to keep Cart 17 sparse plugged and do these tests again after the engTime spectrograph work is completed. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: ---------- All actors, systems, and the telescope were checked. No problem to report. Manually activated B pointing in platedb. Changed the code that create plugMapM files for MARVELS plates. We will test the change next time. I will wrote a code to create plugMapM file for B-side only plate so that no plugMapM file for A-side will be create. It will be tested when a chance comes. Bad weather prevents from ventilation. Night: ----- 00:50:55 APO.elenam: Howard, could you please note in the log that exposure ff=108889 (flat0 is bad. 02:15Z Stareted the sparse-plugged test with the new instructions from Kyle. --
