APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Saturday September 11, 2010 (MJD 55451) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Howard Brewington Audrey Simmons David Schlegel (support) ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- Partly cloudy for most of the night. Observed the following: Cart 11, plate 4088 (DONE) Cart 10, plate 4085 Cart 17, plate 4195 Cart 14, plate 4214 (DONE) Cart 12, plate 4223 Cart 16, plate 4235 (DONE) SOS did not run properly tonight. David Schlegel was notified and he worked to fix the problem for many hours. We noticed that when we started the guider (without taking a guider flat) in the afternoon that the image showed the mask. Would this mean that the reason we did not notice last night that the guider flat failed was because it automatically used the last good flat from the previous plate? ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: ----------- 23:20Z Started the checkout 23:25Z Recorded the software versions 23:27Z Checked and recorded the mirror numbers 23:28Z [hjbrew@sdsshost2 hjbrew]$ df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda3 142G 131G 3.9G 98% / /dev/sda1 99M 30M 64M 33% /boot /dev/sdb1 917G 682G 189G 79% /data hub25m-p:/home - - - - /home_hub25m sdssfiles1-p:/data1/data 1.8T 154G 1.7T 9% /files [observer@hub25m-p ~]$ df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda2 95G 16G 75G 18% / /dev/sda4 793G 97G 656G 13% /home /dev/sda1 99M 19M 75M 20% /boot tmpfs 5.9G 0 5.9G 0% /dev/shm /dev/drbd1 13T 2.3T 11T 18% /data [observer@hub25m-p ~]$ 23:30Z Checked the rain sensor 23:32Z Did 'platedb showActive' BOSS cars 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, and 17 are ready. 23:33Z checked actors; all were happy. 23:43Z Did spectro bias and hartmann 00:10Z Checkout the carts and bay. 00:10Z - Began ventilating.

We were flying blind, so we took an extra few exposures just in case. We ran sos_apocontrol start and sos_aporedo -g -z exp#. 03:12Z - 15 min exposure. 03:28Z - 15 min exposure. This plate is DONE. 03:50Z - Called David Schlegel for his assistance with SOS.
