Subject: 2.5m obslog 20110615 (MJD 55728) From: asimmons@apo.nmsu.edu Date: Thu, 16 Jun 2011 11:51:00 +0000 (UTC) APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Wednesday June 15, 2011 (MJD 55728) ---- Observing Team ---- Dan Oravetz Audrey Oravetz Steve Majewski ---- Observing Summary ---- Mostly clear night. We observed the following: Cart 1, plate 4936 APOGEE Cart 9, plate 4815 MARVELS and APOGEE Cart 7, plate 4818 MARVELS and APOGEE Cart 3, plate 4927 APOGEE Cart 5, plate 4929 APOGEE Cart 6, plate 4945 MARVELS and APOGEE Cart 4, plate 4940 MARVELS and APOGEE The MCP now functions correctly with the FF petals and the Wht lamps. Ticket #1362 filed. STUI 1.1b2 crashes unexpectedly and repeatedly with several different computers. MARVELS plate 4815A, spectra 73-84 are blank. Is there a bundle that wasn't plugged? We tested the Wht lamps with APOGEE dome flats, and they are really dim. It would take a lot of time to gather the amount of counts that they need. ---- Observing Log ---- Afternoon: ---------- Started afternoon checkout. All ok. 00:59Z - Started ventilating. Mounted cart 1. Started APOGEE cals.

So we did not open until 02:35Z. We tested the white lamps with the petals during the full, with success. 02:48Z - Marvels cals: T02:48:54.030 0 2. 33104. 3590.
