Subject: 2.5m obslog 20110317 (MJD 55638) From: asimmons@apo.nmsu.edu Date: Fri, 18 Mar 2011 12:03:44 +0000 (UTC) APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Thursday March 17, 2011 (MJD 55638) ---- Observing Team ---- Dan Oravetz Audrey Simmons ---- Observing Summary ---- Mostly clear night. We observed MARVELS: Cart 6, plate 4514A Cart 1, plate 4594A&B Cart 7, plate 4590A *** Cart 3, plate 4517A Cart 4, plate 4521A&B Cart 5, plate 4587A Cart 8, plate 4588A (twice) *** Spectra 97-108 were missing from this exposure. I thought I heard some rattling noises coming from inside the cartridge when mounting and unmounting it from the telescope. Perhaps there are some dropped fibers? ---- Observing Log ---- Afternoon: ---------- Checked out telescope. Gathered mirror numbers. Turned on THAR lamp. Mounted cart 6 for the beginning of the night. Took a few biases. 2346Z - Started ventilating. Night: ------ 0126Z - Opened enclosure. Filled spectrographs. 0126Z - MARVELS cals.
