Subject: 2.5m obslog 20061027 (MJD 54036) Date: Sat, 28 Oct 2006 06:52:17 -0600 (MDT) From: elenam@apo.nmsu.edu APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Friday October 27, 2006 (MJD 54036) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Swing: Viktor Malanushenko Observers: Stephanie Snedden & Olena Malanushenko ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- SupernovaScience! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- It was a beautiful night for observations! It was clear, photometric, and good seeing at last part of night. The Supernova stripe 82 N is done for lambda from 111 to -122. But we had variable seeing conditions, mostly bad. Segue stripe 1356 N has been observed from mu=75 to mu=104.5 with good seeing. We started spooling the 82 N stripe (run 6504). ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon --------- Telescope has been checked. All systems work fine. Spectro Collimation has been done and focusing on expected night temp.= +3.0C. Time exposure on Spectro Collimation has been equal 3 sec. The details - in to "Problems' section. The PT has been checked. It works fine; Biases and Dom Flats have been obtained. Disk space has been checked and cleaned. Now there is: /files partition ~100 Gb and /data partition 402 Gb. 23:20Z Enclosure doors opened, fans and blowers on, louvers opened. Night ----- It is clear and photometric night. Humidity 13%, temperature 6.5C, wind 11 mph. We have promissing Supernova imaging under clear skies. Before observetions the SN02 computer has been reset as SN team asked us to do. It is clear and photometric, but Cloud Camera's plot of standard deviation show 20% splashes. Two days ago our Cloud Cam was replaced with another camera wich has different scale of spatial transformation. Now the pictures of nearby trees fell above 30 degreees altitude excluded for standard deviation calculation and makes deviation from photometric distribution. 00:10Z Imager has been mounted inside enclosure. 00:40Z, Run 6503, Telescope Bias, 34 frames. 01:00Z Eclosure is opened. 01:32 Z Run 6504. Supernova stripe 82-N. Start Lambda 111. Skippy is happy from the beginning and the focus is good by frame 23. Seeing is 1.6. 01:47Z frame 35, lambda 115 - start science. The stripe is observing in variable seeing conditnions, but mostly bad. Starting from frame 819 and up to endDrift at frame 856 the seeing was good. 09:47Z - End of science at frame 836, lambda -125. 09:57Z - End of ramp and drift at frame 856, lambda -122. We still have a couple hours before twilight. Initially we think about specstoscopy as the seeing was bad the most of time. But for the last 30 minuts of supernova imaging the seeing is improved dramatically and we continue observation with Segue stripe. 10:03 Z Run 6505. Segue stripe 1356-N. Start Mu=75. Skippy and focus are happy from the beginning. Seeing is 1.19. Science starts from mu=77.5, frame 22 at 10:13. We imaged M37, it was a beautiful drift. 11:51Z - End of science at frame 186, mu 102. 12:00Z - End of ramp and drift at frame 203, mu 104.5. endNight is completed. We started to spooling the SN run 6504. ---=== IMAGING RUN SUMMARY ===--- Run Time Stripe Lambda Last Flavor Comments Start End Begin End Frame
