Subject: 2.5m obslog 20110501 (MJD 55683) From: doravetz@apo.nmsu.edu Date: Mon, 2 May 2011 11:13:49 +0000 (UTC) APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Sunday May 01, 2011 (MJD 55683) ---- Observing Team ---- Audrey Simmons Dan Oravetz ---- Observing Plan ---- 1 May 2011 55683.0 0.07 03:16 10:45 10:51 18:21 BOSS 7.5 hours ---- Observing Summary ---- We lost all but the last ~45 min. of the night to weather including combinations of dust, clouds, and high humidity. We completed spectro biases and darks while we were closed and when we did finally open at the end of the night we put two exposures on cartridge 18, 4188, although the seeing was >2". ---- Observing Log ---- Afternoon ========= No problems to report during afternoon checkout. Everything is alive, responsive, and behaving properly. We mounted cartridge 10 for the beginning of the night, but delayed ventilation because of dust/clouds. Night ===== We did not open at sunset because of clouds and high dust counts. We also experienced a temperature drop accompanied by a humidity spike (which stayed relatively high). 03:48Z - Started spectro biases & darks. 05:18Z - Finished spectro biases & darks. After the clouds cleared we still had high humidity, which persisted throughout the night. 10:00Z - The humidity dropped to acceptable levels and seemed to hold, so we prepared to open. 10:07Z - Opened. Mounted cartridge 18. Cart. 18, 4188 ************** 10:11Z - GSOGTF. 10:20Z - Cals. 10:26Z - Science. 10:43Z - Science.
