The reductions are difficult enough without biases. They are very stable, but it has been a long time since we got any Apache wheel data, so we need a fresh one. thanks --jim On Mon, 16 Feb 2004, Scot Kleinman wrote: > > APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M > > OBSERVING LOG > Sunday February 15, 2004 > > (MJD 53051) > > ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- > > swing: Dan Long > night: Atsuko Nitta > Scot Kleinman > > ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- > > Science! > > ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- > > Menu: > ----- > Japanese mixed nuts, peas and sesame things > Wheat bread with Vermont Cheddar > > Cornish game hen stew > Panchetta-wrapped pork roast > Meat balls and wieners > > Chocolate Mint Mousse (hand-made, of course) > Some kind of pie (Steph never told us what it was) > Vanilla Ice Cream > > > Eaters: > ------- > Larry Carey > Tom Murphy > Jack Dembicky > Russet McMillan > Stephanie Snedden > Martin Gaskell > Elizabeth Klimet > Atsuko Nitta > Scot Kleinman > with contributions from Dan Long > > Oh yeah, one plate done, one with signal, and apacheWheel spokes 165, 180, > and 210 done (the last little bit of 180 and a frame or two of the 210 spoke > were marred with the cloud camera slightly above 10).
