Subject: 2.5m obslog 20110413 (MJD 55665) From: doravetz@apo.nmsu.edu Date: Thu, 14 Apr 2011 11:30:51 +0000 (UTC) APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Wednesday April 13, 2011 (MJD 55665) ---- Observing Team ---- Audrey Simmons Dan Oravetz ---- Observing Plan ---- 13 Apr 2011 55665.0 0.70 02:58 11:09 09:22 17:35 MARVELS/APOGEE 9.2 hours ---- Observing Summary ---- Completed nine MARVELS exposures under clear, but dusty, skies. The seeing was around 1.6-1.7" for the first 4 exposures and deteriorated to >2.5" the last five exposures. The M2 MiG values are all reading "0". We had GSOGTF on all but one field, though, so the discrepancy between "Tonight" and "Nominal" doesn't seem real. We had dusty conditions tonight (>30k dust-hours), so the mirrors/cartridges will almost certainly need cleaned. Listed in the Log body are some fibers that had relatively low S/N. Please check that they are plugged properly in case they dropped out some. ---- Observing Log ---- Afternoon ========= No problems to report during afternoon checkout. All systems and instruments are alive/responsive/in-spec. 23:30Z - Turned on ThAr lamp. 00:05Z - Began ventilation. Mounted cart. 1. Night ===== 01:38Z - Opened to clear skies.
