Subject: 2.5m obslog 20090131 (MJD 54863) Date: Sun, 1 Feb 2009 13:25:30 +0000 (UTC) From: kpan@apo.nmsu.edu (Kaike Pan) APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Saturday January 31, 2009 (MJD 54863) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Viktor Malanushenko Kaike Pan Steph Snedden (afternoon) Dan Long (support via phone) ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- Photometric sky with decent seeing. We finished plates: 3172, 3228. added signal to plates: 3198, 3210, 3180 Problem: (1) Viktor's all sessions on sdsshost2 were frozen during the telscope slew process. See log for details. (2) The plate 3227 (cart 8) still has one bright object, HD 63712 plugged to fiber 458. Please unplug this fiber. 1 hour lost due to the problem. (3) For the 2nd in arow, cloud camera stoped itself. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: --------- One problem during afternoon checkout: The phone at the telescope laptop was pushed up against the trackball button so a LOT of stuff was copied from the telrun window, which I accidentally pasted into same when I moved the phone and track ball. Much garbage was spewed into telrun and we wound up doing a telstop and telrun to restore order. Spectro focus was adjusted for about 2C. The rest of afternoon checkout was without problems. Mounted cart 6. Removed MJD 54837 data from sdsshost2/sdssfiles1 The disk space is now: /dev/sdb1 917G 842G 29G 97% /data sdssfiles1p:/data1/data 1.5T 854G 539G 62% /files 23:45Z - started building ventilation. Night: ----- 00:35Z enclosure off. 01:15Z cart 6, plate 3198 (SEGUE). It was a luck. SOGTF and scale was good. Seeing was 1.0". We obtained one 30 min exposure. SoS returned S/N^2 less than 2.0 except for b1. The weather was perfect tonight except for a little moony, photometric sky and subarcsecond seeing. We don't think we can do any better than. The field is seting, cannot be observed it next run. We have observed this plate over 14K sec. We will continue to observe it tomorrow night, Maybe unplug it regardless it reach S/N^2 156 or not. 02:25Z cart 7, plate 3210 (SEGUE). SOGTF. Forget to record the number of the first guider frame. We obtined three 30 min exposures. The plate has not done yet. 04:26Z cart 8, plate 3227. No stars on got o field. After acquired the field by using FK5, the first guider frame is 415. Fiber # 458 is a bright star HD 63712. Exposure saturated. Here is the item from plugMapM file.

I checked the coorinate last night. I can not understand why the bright target skipped my check. Sorry. 05:30Z cart 3, plate 3228. During th telescope slew, all sessions on sdsshost2 are frozen but sessions on landrun are still active. We have no explainnation why this happened. But here is what Viktor did during that time. He issued gotoField command, then switched to another desktop and used the quickDisplay All to examine exposure that has saturated fiber. After the exposure was shown in sao, he swicthed back to his desktop with all control session, he found that all sessions on host2 are frozen. Then he killed all of his iop session from his laptop, nothing changed in all his xterm windows on host2. But Kaike was able to grabe instrument and get all ready for pre-calib, we noticed that the scope is at 86 degree, will track through 90. So we stoped the telscope, Viktor restarted all his sessions. Kaike dropped the instrument and Viktor take control over. We have to wait for about 10 mintues before we can re-issue gotoField. Total time lost due to the problem was about 1 hour (included the time we had to wait for the field pass through zenith (real 90 degree for the field) When we gotoField again, we had to use FK5 again. The first guider frame is 116 after goback to the field. The plate is done with 4 30 min exposures. 54863 12.5 8.2 16.8 11.5 1801.0 49.0 54863 11.8 7.3 15.5 9.6 1800.0 44.2 54863 10.7 6.8 13.6 10.3 1800.0 41.4 54863 10.3 6.3 13.9 10.4 1800.0 40.9 --------------------------------------------------- 45.3 28.6 59.8 41.8 7201.0 --> 175.5 09:55Z cart 4, plate 3172.
