Subject: 2.5m obslog 20110319 (MJD 55640) From: snedden@apo.nmsu.edu Date: Sun, 20 Mar 2011 12:24:53 +0000 (UTC) APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Saturday March 19, 2011 (MJD 55640) ---- Observing Team ---- Dan Oravetz Steph Snedden ---- Observing Plan ---- MARVELS ---- Observing Summary ---- Clear skies. Seeing started off poor, but improved by 0300Z, then became variable after 0400Z, Observed the following MARVELS fields: 4594A APG_180+00 4594B APG_180+04 spectra in fibers 17/18 extremely faint 4590A APG_210+08 spectra in fibers 13/14, 53/54 extremely faint 4590B APG_N2420 4591A APG_SGR1 4517B APG_M53 spectra in fibers 91/92, 95/96 very faint. Observed plate twice. 4673A APG_M13 4588A APGS_N5466 spectra in fibers 49/50, 107/108, 117/118 very faint 4674A APGS_M107 There is something loose on the cartridge 7 slithead that goes to sp2. It makes a rattling sound when being wheeled on the cart. It latches fine, though, and I suppose the main problem would be if we were to lose a screw in the BOSS sp2. It was moderately dusty throughout the night. Please check/clean M1. ---- Observing Log ---- Afternoon ========= 21:30Z - Checked STUI actors. 21:38Z - Turned on ThAr lamp. 22:45Z - Checked out telescope and lower enclosure.
