Subject: 2.5m obslog 20110129 (MJD 55591) From: asimmons@apo.nmsu.edu Date: Sun, 30 Jan 2011 13:56:42 +0000 (UTC) APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Saturday January 29, 2011 (MJD 55591) ---- Observing Team ---- 23:40Z Steph Snedden Audrey Simmons Kaike Pan (afternoon) 13:50Z Audrey Simmons ---- Observing Plan ---- 23:44Z BOSS Science ---- Observing Summary ---- 03:08Z Clear night. We observed: Cart 10, plate 4658 Cart 12, plate 4657 Cart 11, plate 4480 (DONE) Cart 13, plate 4479 Cart 14, plate 4565 (DONE) Cart 15, plate 4613 (DONE) Cart 17, plate 3970 (DONE) Cart 16, plate 4053 (DONE) Cart 18, plate 4049 (DONE) We continued to have scaleChange problems in which we would apply a change, but then would be asked to issue the opposite of the change. Steph noticed that it behaves normally if she applies half of what it asks for. Cart 12 is technically done, but there are no available plates to replace it. We will continue to observe it unless someone says otherwise. There was a network problem right after we finished our last exposure of the night. It took out LUI, SOS, the cloud camera, etc. After contacting Fritz, we rebooted a few computers in the back and then everything came back to normal. ---- Observing Log ---- 00:35Z Afternoon: --------- All systems and actors were checked and confirmed working properly. I put all 9 cartridges on and took hartmann test exposures on them to test blue ring setting on different cartridges. It seems that blue ring setting only differ by 1.5 degrees on SP1, by 4 degrees on SP2. Bias, flat, and arc were taken on cart 10. Flat and arc were declared test. Start ventilation at 22:20Z. Night: ----- 00:52Z Opened enclosure and filled spectrographs. 01:09Z gotoField cart 10, BOSS plate 4658. Guide star in aqu fiber. Full Hartmanns 126041-42.
