APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Wednesday March 24, 2010 (MJD 55280) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Stephen Snedden Kaike Pan Support: Nathan De Lee ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- 55280 02:40 11:38 MARVELS until 09:52 (7.7 h), then BOSS (1.8 h) ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- Tonight, we had clear sky and good seeing (0.8" by DIMM, 1.1" by the guider). we Observed: 6 MARVELS plates: cart 4, plate 3890A, field GJ176. cart 4, plate 3890B, field1631. Possible broken fiber: pair 31/32. cart 7, plate 3353B, field XO-2. B-side only plate. cart 5, plate 3892A, field 47UMA. cart 5, plate 3892B, field HD118203. cart 6, plate 3895A, field HAT-P-3. 2 BOSS plates: cart 11, plate 3863 -- DONE cart 12, plate 3874 -- DONE A B-side only MARVELS plate, 3353B, was successfully observed. Problem: Collimator motors timed out during piston movements. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: ---------- It seems that MarvelMap script was not ran on plates 3890 and 3892. Steph ran it on them. 00:00Z Marvels ThAr lamps on. 23:25Z started ventilation. We shifted SP2 +3 A in wavelength coverage. 01:22Z enclosure off. Night: ------ cart 4, plate 3890A, field GJ176.
