From: sjnk@apo.nmsu.edu Subject: SDSS 2.5m 52013 12Apr01 NightLog Date: Fri, 13 Apr 2001 04:25:40 -0600 (MDT) Thursday Apr 12 2001 Apache Point Observatory SDSS 2.5m Observing Log (MJD 52012) OBSERVING TEAM: =============== Scot Kleinman (APO) Eric Neilsen (FNAL) Mike Harvanek (APO) PT VISITORS: ========= Jurek Krzesinski (KPU) THE PLAN: ========= Pointing model continued. Shake. Science. SYNOPSIS FOR NIGHT: =================== Around 8pm, the day crew found (hopefully) the problem with the primary mirror - a bad power supply, which they will replace tomorrow, so we did not get on the sky tonight at all. We declared a bunch of software current, though. TELESCOPE STATUS: ================= Opened: Nope Closed: DIMM: ===== INTERLOCKS: =========== SOFTWARE USED: ============== IOP/SOP: v3_41_5a Watcher: v2_8_16 - now CURRENT MCP: v4_6_5 - now CURRENT TPM: v2_3_3 - now CURRENT AstroDa: 14_36 TCC: 2.5.1a tccmon: v1_6 sdssProcedures: v1_14 -> v1_15 WEATHER SYNOPSIS (see below for hourly data): ============================================= Not photometric. GENERAL COMMENTS (see Problems below for details): ================================================== Eric took a bunch of bias drifts with the latest IOP and makeRunLog completed successfully. He did not, however, change this part of the code prior to these tests, though, so we have no idea what happened last night. But at least, we think makeRunLog, hence imaging, may work with the current batch of software. We declared the following software current: watcher v2_8_16 MCP v4_6_5 TPM v2_3_3 astrom v3_4 astrotools v5_3 (why isn't this astroTools?) SoS v4_7_1 We did NOT declare IOP current since we have not really tested in with spectroscopy at all. The observers will continue to use the latest greatest IOP: v3_41_5a and will declare it current if it works with SOP. (All known bugs fixed this shake have been implemented in 3_41_5a.) Mike and Eric shook a new MOP successfully.
