Subject: 2.5m obslog 20110602 (MJD 55715) From: kpan@apo.nmsu.edu Date: Fri, 3 Jun 2011 10:53:14 +0000 (UTC) APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Thursday June 02, 2011 (MJD 55715) ---- Observing Team ---- Viktor Malanushenko Kaike Pan ---- Observing Plan ---- Jun 2011 55715.0 0.09 03:47 10:16 13:29 19:59 BOSS 6.5 hours ---- Observing Summary ---- The first 1.5 hours was lost to weather: radar return, clouds. Under mostly clear to partly cloudy sky but good to moderate seeing (1.1-1.6"), we observed: cart 10, plate 5017. A plate with special target selection. SoS does not give S/N for blues cameras (see log body) cart 13, plate 4805. DONE cart 15, plate 5000. DONE. cart 16, plate 5014. cart 18, plate 5003. DONE. We accumulated about 15K dust-hours with humidity of ~ 55%. Should mirrors be cleaned? ---- Observing Log ---- Afternoon: --------- All systems, telescope, and actors were checked, and confirmed worked properly. BOSS spectrograph collimations were checked, blue camera focus ring was adjusted by 2.5 degrees on SP1, -6 degrees on SP2. Swapped 180 dewar on sp2. We had a few drops of rain during evening. Looks like it would be a cloudy, maybe thunderstorm night. We get cartridge 8 into the enclosure for lossy fiber test. Because of the weather, no evening ventilation. Night: ----- Nearby radar returned, and clouds keep from opening. However, according to the satellite images, we may have chance to open later, so we hold the lossy fiber test. 03:30Z started ventilation. 04:30Z enclosure off. Mounted cart 10. 05:00Z cart 10, plate 5017. This is a special plate needing S/N > 25 in blue, > 50 in red.

Mostly clear sky with ~ 2.5" seeing. During the 2nd exposure, seeing improved to 1.3"-1.5". SoS does not returned S/N feedback on b1 and b2 while the frames were reduced. It looks like that there are no targets between g=21 m to g= 22 m (where the SoS S/N was derived from? ) 06:28Z cart 13, plate 4805.

The 2nd exposure ended 5 minutes after the plate expired. Because one half exposure will get the plate done, we decided to took one more exposure outside the plate's visibility window. The plate was done with existing signals.
