We had a rot axis oscillation problem several times during the night; see log. We spent a great deal of time trying to focus sp2 but discovered a hard ware problem; see log. We had an auto-fill problem: see log. We worked on collimation but discovered a problem with the secondary mirror numbers; see log. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: ---------- 00:00Z Cracked the doors and turned on the fans. 00:30Z Started the checkout a bit late because we helped Paul with an engCam mod. 00:44Z Checked and recorded software versions. 00:55Z Tested the actor; see below: TestActors, 2 010-08-12 01:19:52 alerts ping ** FAILED ** alerts status ** FAILED ** apo ping OK apo status OK boss status OK gcamera ping OK gcamera status OK ecamera ping ** FAILED ** ecamera status ** FAILED ** guider ping OK guider status OK hub status OK mcp ping OK msg just testing OK perms status OK platedb ping OK platedb status OK sop ping ** FAILED ** sop status ** FAILED ** sos ping ** FAILED ** tcc show status OK tcc show time OK keys getFor=hub version OK -------- boss ping --??? check -------- 01:05Z Checked rain sensor status 01:15Z Checked that the plates are in data base with platedb showActive Carts 03, 05, 06, 11, and 12 are ready. 01:28Z Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda3 142G 131G 4.0G 98% / /dev/sda1 99M 30M 64M 33% /boot /dev/sdb1 917G 869G 1.4G 100% /data hub25m-p:/home - - - - /home_hub25m sdssfiles1-p:/data1/data 1.8T 146G 1.7T 8% /files Night: ------ 02:10Z At about this time, after doing an axis init while the scope was at 121,90,00 mount, the rotator started oscillating a few degrees in both directions. It was a VERY strong event. In fact, the motion of the rot axis caused the az axis to also move. DanO said that this also happened to him a few nights ago at 121,30,00 mount. It happened several more times during the night and somtimes lasting as much as ten seconds. This event always happened as the we did an axis init. 02:20Z We closed the doors and mounted cart 11 for Kyle's test. We spent a great deal of the night trying to focus sp2 before discovering a hard ware problem. When we unlocked the three knobs on the brass focus ring, the red dewar had a lot of flop. The blue camera had the same problem. Dan sent some images to the engCrew that depicts the focus problem. 03:07Z Another rot oscillation at 30 deg. 07:40Z Enclosure off ~07:50Z While doing a force fill, the fill stopped twice before finishing. The first time it was off for about 30 seconds; the second time it was for about 2 seconds. Both of these events happened early in the fill process. 08:06Z Another rot oscillation event; this one last about ~ten seconds. 08:30Z We continued work on the primary collimation, but discoverd a problem with the mirror numbers for the secondary. We tried rebooting the migs and homing the secondary. Yet, we still had bad numbers. FYI, tx moves light -alt ty moves light -az 11:15Z endNight finished 11:25Z Enclosure on. ---=== IMAGING RUN SUMMARY ===--- Run Time Stripe Lambda Last Flavor Comments Start End Begin End Frame ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---=== IMAGING RUN DETAILS ===--- ---=== SKIPPY RESULTS ===--- Run Frame nFrames stars muErr muRms nuErr nuRms rot az el --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---=== LTMATCH RESULTS ===--- Run Field nFields alt az nGood rowMean rowSig colMean colSig rot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---=== 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 ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE I ===--- Time Instrument Az Alt Rot Scale pos offset pos offset pos offset ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE II ===--- ---=== FOCUS LOG ===--- setmir piston Temp Wind Time Inst scale M1 M2 Foc Az Alt (C) MPH Dir filt fwhm ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---=== WEATHER LOG ===--- Wind Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust DIMM Sky 00:32Z 66 44 6 5 (N) -9999 - 01:06Z 65 46 7 17 (NNE) -9999 - 01:40Z 66 45 0 237 (WSW) -9999 - 02:13Z 64 45 5 4 (N) -9999 - 02:47Z 62 46 9 53 (NE) -9999 - 03:17Z 62 44 14 81 (E) -9999 - 03:50Z 62 43 10 90 (E) -9999 - 04:24Z 61 48 11 107 (ESE) -9999 - 04:57Z 60 49 11 109 (ESE) -9999 - 05:31Z 60 51 12 113 (ESE) -9999 - 06:04Z 62 49 6 113 (ESE) -9999 - 06:38Z 61 50 6 110 (ESE) -9999 - 07:08Z 62 48 1 147 (SSE) -9999 - 07:38Z 60 49 7 128 (SE) -9999 - 08:12Z 60 49 14 125 (SE) -9999 - 08:46Z 60 49 6 103 (ESE) -9999 - 09:20Z 60 49 1 133 (SE) -9999 - 09:54Z 62 46 0 218 (SW) -9999 - 10:24Z 61 48 3 199 (SSW) -9999 - 10:58Z 58 51 8 124 (SE) -9999 - ---=== TELESCOPE STATUS ===--- 00:00Z Doors and louvers opened, fans on. 07:40Z Enclosure off. 11:25Z Enclosure on, doors and louvers closed, fans off.
