APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Friday December 3, 2010 (MJD 55534) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Dmitry Bizyaev Audrey Simmons Kaike Pan (afternoon) Support: Jon Brinkmann (updating computer software) Steph Snedden ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- BOSS Science ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- Partly cloudy tonight. We observed: Cart 10, plate 4363 Cart 11, plate 4370 - DONE Cart 12, plate 4387 - DONE Cart 13, plate 4403 Cart 14, plate 4453 Cart 16, plate 4454 Cart 18, plate 3823 - DONE We were not able to observe cartridge 17 because the guider failed to start on account of "No plate view: shape mismatch: objects cannot be broadcast to a single shape". We did not have any problems with the LN2 systems. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: --------- All actors and systems were checked, confirmed working properly. During yesterday and today's afternoon check out, we mounted all nine catridges and checked collimation on them, and found that different cartridges requires slightly different blue ring postions. We moved B1 focus ring by 3.5 degrees so that it is at about middle of different cartridges requirements. Based on the black tape mark on B1, the focus ring is set at 112 degree. 22:20Z started ventilation. Night: ----- 00:01Z - Opened enclosure and force-filled the spectrographs. We also issued the manual fill to make sure that the dewers were full. 00:27Z - gotoField cart 10, BOSS plate 4363. Used offsets. 00:28Z - Hartmanns 123223-24. 00:31Z - Cals 123225-26. 01:04Z - 15 min exposure. Seeing 1.3" 01:20Z - 15 min exposure. 01:37Z - 15 min exposure. This plate is not done yet.
