Date: Fri, 28 Oct 2005 12:56:07 GMT From: observer@apo.nmsu.edu Subject: 2.5m obslog 20051027 (MJD 53671) APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Thursday October 27, 2005 (MJD 53671) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Howard Brewington (swing) Olena Malanushenko (swing helper) Dan Long (night) Kaike Pan (night) Viktor Malanushenko ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- superNova Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- The first 3.5 hours was lost due to high humidity. We imaged 82 S started from lambda -139. Skies were clear until around 08:30Z, with variable amounts of high cloud afterwards. Seeing was about 2.0" at the beging, went to good at about 7:30Z. Two logTools were found to be editable at the same time. A PR (6707) was filled. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: -------------- With the spectro checkout, xMin, xMax, waveMin, and waveMax were checked and found to be within spec. The spectro collimation was checked and adjusted; see problems section for col_mirror numbers. We did a second set of specFlats in the afternoon, but the enclosure lights were accidentally turned on for a short time during the 10/15 exposure. Yet, the flat seemed to look normal. We are running the current version of iop; however, we're using the -t version of iop on the PT. During the checkout, we discovered that we could have two logTools editable at the same time. And, Watcher reported the same FTP connection was hung on id1 again today. Night: -------------- 01:10Z imager was mounted. 01:40Z Run 5785 on-telescope bias in the dark enclosure. High humidity prevent us from opening. 05:15Z Run 5786 (SN Stripe 82 S, startLambda=139). Skippy was happy from the begining. Seeing was not good, at about 1.7". It got in focus at frame 18 (lambda 140). Seeing degraded and was over 2.0", and luckly got better at frame 165 (lambda at about 162), and headed down to 1.5", and to below 1.3" at frame 360 (lambda -170). ramp start fram 648, end ramp frame 666 (lambda -123). Run end frame 673 (lambda -122). Till 08:00Z, the sky was clear and photometric but seeing was not over 1.3". After 8:30Z, seeing became better, down to 1.3" or so, but clouds started forming, some cloud puffs in the north and south. the sky was not perfect photometric anymore although it could be considered as marginally photometric till 9:40Z when 14 chips had subarcsecond seeing measurements. Seeing was stable at about 1.0" since then. 12:20Z closing. 12:50Z endNight rejoiced. ---=== IMAGING RUN SUMMARY ===--- Run Time Stripe Lambda Last Flavor Comments Start End Begin End Frame ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5783 22:39Z 23:00Z 100 O 85.27 90.60 49 ignore 5784 23:02Z 23:40Z 100 O 91.19 100.55 77 bias 5785 01:03Z 01:57Z 100 O 121.51 135.03 90 bias 5786 05:09Z 11:48Z 82 S 138.34 -121.70 680 science ---=== IMAGING RUN DETAILS ===--- ---=== SKIPPY RESULTS ===--- Run Frame nFrames stars muErr muRms nuErr nuRms rot az el --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5786 10 2 52 1.200 0.184 -3.800 0.143 -0.01535 241 37 5786 18 4 73 1.200 0.171 -3.600 0.163 -0.01621 241 37 5786 70 4 67 1.700 0.171 -2.800 0.136 -0.01617 241 37 5786 119 4 59 2.100 0.160 -2.000 0.142 -0.01607 241 37 5786 171 4 45 4.200 0.188 -2.300 0.117 -0.01584 241 37 5786 223 4 45 4.000 0.146 -2.500 0.106 -0.01597 241 37 5786 274 4 43 4.000 0.214 -2.900 0.155 -0.01478 241 37 5786 326 4 55 5.700 0.133 -3.000 0.108 -0.01621 241 37 5786 354 4 43 5.700 0.154 -3.200 0.121 -0.01636 241 37 5786 378 4 52 5.400 0.156 -3.500 0.132 -0.01583 241 37 5786 428 4 31 5.500 0.172 -3.900 0.120 -0.01669 241 37 5786 481 4 34 6.000 0.186 -4.100 0.118 -0.01588 241 37 5786 533 4 58 5.500 0.143 -4.500 0.105 -0.01578 241 37 5786 584 4 59 6.600 0.495 -4.600 0.539 -0.01434 241 37 5786 635 4 39 6.200 0.153 -5.000 0.111 -0.01536 241 37 ---=== LTMATCH RESULTS ===--- Run Field nFields alt az nGood rowMean rowSig colMean colSig rot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 5786 22 1 37 299 22 -1.617 0.262 1.057 0.240 -0.00355 5786 22 1 37 299 20 -1.003 0.150 1.500 0.206 -0.00504 5786 22 1 37 299 32 -0.417 0.259 1.607 0.262 -0.00540 5786 22 1 37 299 17 -0.127 0.344 1.714 0.165 -0.00576 5786 22 1 37 299 21 0.376 0.278 2.111 0.321 -0.00710 5786 151 1 37 299 16 -0.826 0.267 1.019 0.153 -0.00343 5786 151 1 37 299 15 -0.558 0.213 1.254 0.233 -0.00421 5786 151 1 37 299 20 0.066 0.283 1.554 0.262 -0.00522 5786 151 1 37 299 19 0.544 0.289 1.882 0.362 -0.00633 5786 151 1 37 299 10 0.001 2.427 2.754 2.812 -0.00926 5786 349 1 37 299 9 -1.038 0.208 1.348 0.155 -0.00453 5786 349 1 37 299 22 -0.729 0.219 1.522 0.110 -0.00512 5786 349 1 37 299 9 -0.205 0.146 1.849 0.095 -0.00622 5786 349 1 37 299 10 0.247 0.195 1.964 0.158 -0.00660 5786 349 1 37 299 6 0.674 0.203 2.149 0.141 -0.00722 5786 467 1 37 299 16 -1.499 0.163 0.817 0.206 -0.00275 5786 467 1 37 299 18 -1.299 0.187 1.107 0.242 -0.00372 5786 467 1 37 299 22 -0.769 0.214 1.225 0.263 -0.00412 5786 467 1 37 299 11 -0.295 0.163 1.564 0.135 -0.00526 5786 467 1 37 299 12 0.124 0.129 1.656 0.138 -0.00557 5786 604 1 37 299 13 -0.913 0.165 1.296 0.132 -0.00436 5786 604 1 37 299 16 -0.598 0.145 1.335 0.109 -0.00449 5786 604 1 37 299 14 -0.065 0.234 1.614 0.246 -0.00543 5786 604 1 37 299 9 0.296 0.264 1.811 0.150 -0.00609 5786 604 1 37 299 20 0.656 0.147 1.948 0.218 -0.00655 ---=== SPECTROSCOPY DATA SUMMARY ===--- Summary Checked (y/n): QA Procedures Done (y/n): UT Exp Time flavor comment (S/N)^2 totals ========================================== b1 r1 b2 r2 21:24 34354 10.0 flat 21:27 34355 2.0 arc 21:37 34356 2.1 arc 21:40 34357 2.1 arc ----- sequence 34358, plate -9999 ------- 22:46 34358 0.0 bias ----- sequence 34359, plate 2265 ------- 22:59 34359 10.0 flat 23:04 34360 10.0 flat 23:07 34361 10.0 flat 23:11 34362 10.0 flat 23:15 34363 10.0 flat 23:19 34364 10.0 flat 23:23 34365 10.0 flat 23:27 34366 10.0 flat 23:31 34367 10.0 flat 23:35 34368 10.0 flat 23:39 34369 10.0 flat 23:43 34370 10.0 flat 23:47 34371 10.0 flat 23:51 34372 10.0 flat 23:54 34373 10.0 flat 23:58 34374 2.0 arc 00:00 34375 2.0 arc ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE I ===--- Time Instrument Az Alt Rot Scale pos offset pos offset pos offset ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 05:26Z imager 298.59 0.0000 36.54 0.0000 42.20 0.0000 1.000000 06:43Z imager 298.60 0.0000 36.55 0.0000 42.21 0.0000 1.000000 08:42Z imager 298.61 0.0000 36.56 0.0000 42.23 0.0000 1.000000 09:51Z imager 298.61 0.0000 36.56 0.0000 42.24 0.0000 1.000000 11:14Z imager 298.63 0.0000 36.57 0.0000 42.26 0.0000 1.000000 ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE II ===--- ---=== DATA TAPE SUMMARY ===--- Goes: JL Stays: JL ---=== FOCUS LOG ===--- setmir piston Temp Wind Time Inst scale M1 M2 Foc Az Alt (C) MPH Dir filt fwhm ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 05:26Z imager 1.00000 0 -159 -123 299 36.5 4.1 8 134 23 1.7 06:42Z imager 1.00000 0 -122 -87 299 36.6 5.1 8 180 23 1.5 08:42Z imager 1.00000 0 -240 -204 299 36.6 5.3 7 181 23 1.1 09:52Z imager 1.00000 0 -225 -189 299 36.6 5.0 10 181 23 1.1 11:14Z imager 1.00000 0 -249 -214 299 36.6 5.6 14 180 23 1.0 ---=== WEATHER LOG ===--- Wind Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust DIMM Sky 20:44Z 55 31 10 198 (SSW) -9999 -
