Subject: 2.5m obslog 20070608 (MJD 54260) Date: Sat, 9 Jun 2007 04:06:13 -0600 (MDT) From: snedden@apo.nmsu.edu (Steph Snedden) APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Friday June 8, 2007 (MJD 54260) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Elena Malanushenko Steph Snedden Shannon Watters (afternoon) Visitors: Mark Tarantino (Otero County Sheriff's Dept.) Giovanna Tarantino (OCSD) John Lee (OCSD) ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- Poor weather - high humidity, thunderstorm, clouds. We never opened. We finished dithered flats, monthly spectro biases and darks. The imager dewar will need to be replaced in the mid-afternoon. If there is no day shift to beat us to it, the observers will do it after waking up. Likewise for the spectro dewar. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: --------- All systems checked and working. Spectrograph focus wasn't changed and is set for 9-10C. Night: ----- 02:30Z - The humidity started climbing shortly before sunset. We ventilated the building for less than an hour before having to close again. 05:07Z - The weather looked like it would continue to be bad for a long time.
