Subject: 2.5m obslog 20100913 (MJD 55453) Date: Tue, 14 Sep 2010 11:02:18 +0000 (UTC) From: alaina@apo.nmsu.edu APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Monday September 13, 2010 (MJD 55453) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Howard Brewington Alaina Shelden Craig Loomis (sos testing) ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- gcamera had to be restarted again today during the checkout. Night was lost to clouds and humidity. We did several cloudy night tasks. We did Marvles cals, spectral biases and darks on Cart 14, dithered flats on Carts 14 and 12, and did some more abort tests. In the abort tests, we noticed that with a sop doCalibs command, the exposure immediately reads out when aborted and exists on disk. With a boss command it simply stops where it is and there is no readout. All following images looked ok. See log for all details. We replaced one flat field lamp, see log for details.

Files exist on disk, even though we aborted. It also turned off the lamps. Before when we tried this, boss exposure abort stopped all processes, and boss clearExposure worked with no readout. Files never appeared on disk and lamps stayed on. Perviously we were able to abort during readout, and now we can't do that. Done with sop. We then realized that we did it with boss commands last time, tested it now, and got the same results from our previous test 2 weeks ago. 119428 aborted, but read out 119429 aborted, but read out 119430 aborted, readout, and all 3 files are on disk. 07:54Z flat field lamp failed next to counter balance weight 4 119433 aborted flat cleared NA 119434 complete arc readout ok 119435 aborted flat cleared NA 119436 complete arc readout ok 119437 aborted flat cleared NA 119438 complete arc readout ok 119439 aborted flat cleared NA *aborted during flushing 119440 complete arc readout ok 119441 aborted flat cleared *aborted during readout, failed 08:42Z Dithered flats on Cart 12 frames 119442-467 10:50Z endNight finished, and there was much rejoicing.
