Subject: 2.5m obslog 20110203 (MJD 55596) From: elenam@apo.nmsu.edu Date: Fri, 4 Feb 2011 11:21:16 +0000 (UTC) APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Thursday February 03, 2011 (MJD 55596) ---- Observing Team ---- 22:33Z Vktor Malanushenko Elena Malanushenko Kaike Pan (afternoon) ---- Observing Plan ---- 22:48Z BOSS science, but the weather ... ---- Observing Summary ---- 10:48Z We did not opened last night. It was cal (35 mph), and blowing snow. We performed Marvels calibration tests with new set of exposure times. We found out new exposure times on landru, but not on minidru. We could not update default exposures on minidru because of permission. (even we could not update defaults on landu also but they were set). We could not run calibration test as whole sequence because of error. Boss gave us IonPump waring, Crag recommended to apply "boss ackErrors" and it helped. Ticket #1160 was updated. Sp1 dewar has low pressure 13-14 psi, we tried to build the pressure but it did not help. Could you please check. Test version of Focus, Offsets, and weather has been included to this night log for evaluation purposes. logSupport stui script do this job to help observers. ---- Observing Log ---- 23:25Z Afternoon: --------- All systems and actors were checked. Collimation was checked on cart 15, B1 focus ring was adjusted by -10 degrees. Now it set at 93 degrees. Bias, dark, flat, and arc were taken on cart 15. They all look good. Flat and arc were declared test. 23:30Z It was still very cold, at -17 C. A lot of bellowing snow. Humidity was high, at 85%. No evening ventilation. 10:08Z Night -------- We did not open as it was cold T~ -16C, high wind and snow blowing. Boss spectro gave us some warning. 04:39:47 .boss 39580 boss w SP1RedIonPump=-6.53; SP2BlueIonPump=-6.95 04:39:47 .boss 39580 boss w camCheck=SP1RedIonPump,SP2BlueIonPump Craig recommended to do the next: "Send 'boss ackErrors', which clears both ion pump errors and fill faults. On both cameras." It cleared warning and it did not return during the night. Craig updates Ticket #1160 related with this problem. 10:20Z We repeat marvels calibration tests using new exposure times for different calibrations. New exposure times have been pre-set in landru, but not on minidru. There was a permission problem which did not allow us to change defaults on minidru. (we could not update defaults on landru also but we did not need to do this). ------------- Fri Feb 04 03:02:33 MST 2011 Error: java.io.FileNotFoundException: /Users/marvels/ufmvinstall/mjci/defaults.txt (Permission denied) Fri Feb 04 03:02:33 MST 2011 Error: JPanelDefaults._actionSave> Failed opening to write file: /Users/marvels/ufmvinstall/mjci/defaults.txt -------- I tried to use "Exposure Sequence" for marvels calibration as described in "defaults" section of Marvels Observing procedure but was not successful.
