APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Friday April 2, 2010 (MJD 55289) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Dan Oravetz Audrey Simmons ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- Partly cloudy night, with moderate seeing. Observed: Cart 11, plate 3832 - DONE Cart 1, plate 3715A Cart 8, plate 3413A&B Cart 9, plate 3796A Cart 6, plate 3899A ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: ---------- Telescope checked - all ok. 00:40Z - Started ventilating. Night: ------ 01:25Z - Opened enclosure to partly cloudy skies. Force filled spectrographs. 01:56Z - goToField cart 17, BOSS plate 3817. GSFOGTF. Paul tested the guider with the new ferrel offsets. A few bugs: Guider would stop updating every few minutes. Guider would not restart with 'guider ontime=5.' because this message would appear: 02:01:55 APO.doravetz 104 guider w text="Calibration lamp on; aborting guiding" 02:18Z - Hartmanns 112583-84. Counts were extremely low in both exposures. It was like the MCP was getting confused with the state of the lamps again. The collimate procedure was complaining: ERROR FOUND!! THERE DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE ANY LIGHT FROM THE ARCS IN THIS CAMERA!! COLLIMATE: FILE1 = /data/spectro/55289/sdR-b1-00112583.fit COLLIMATE: FILE2 = /data/spectro/55289/sdR-b1-00112584.fit COLLIMATE: MJD = 55289 COLLIMATE: Camera = b1 COLLIMATE: COLLIMATE: Mean offset = -0.91 pix ... ... 02:23Z - Hartmanns 112585-86. This time, the lamps were turned on manually and the exposures were normal. However, the plate looks like it is sparsely plugged. There are only ~20 spectra. 02:32Z - Cals 112589-90. 02:45Z - Mounted cart 11, BOSS plate 3832.

We were able to ping the guider actor, but not gcamera. The gcamera ICC was restarted through stageManager, but the guider would still not update, so it was restarted too.
