Subject: 2.5m obslog 20110911 (MJD 55816) From: elenam@apo.nmsu.edu Date: Mon, 12 Sep 2011 11:59:52 +0000 (UTC) APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Sunday September 11, 2011 (MJD 55816) ---- Observing Team ---- Steph Snedden Olena Malanushenko ---- Observing Plan ---- 11 Sep 2011 55816.0 0.97 02:39 11:21 18:58 03:43 MARVELS/APOGEE 9.7 hours ---- Observing Summary ---- We had variable clouds during the night. We opened and closed twice. We observed the next APOGEE plates: 01:09:54 loadCart: ct=9, pl=5220, sd=A; ABBA exp time 500 sec, seq=2. 03:28:11 loadCart: ct=6, pl=5238, sd=A; 04:19 exposures ABBA exp time 500 sec. 04:53:35 loadCart: ct=3, pl=4914, sd=A; ABBA exp time 500 sec, seq=2. 08:58:28 loadCart: ct=4, pl=5283, sd=A; ABBA exp time 500 sec, seq=2. Problems: ct=6, pl=5238 does not have refraction correction set, Craig filed a ticket. ct=6, pl=5238, gcamera died twice and we need to restart it using stagemanager. gotoField was messed up with cold shutter so gotoField failed. Crig found bag and is going to fix it soon. If on gotoField telescope moves quickly, shutter does not have enough time to complete its task and guider failed. We opened and closed twice because clouds and nearby radar return. Steph said it was frustrating night :-(( ---- Observing Log ---- Afternoon ----------- All systems were checked and they worked properly. Afternoon apogee calibration has been done. Night ----- 01:22:20 encl25m : open; 01:09:54 loadCart: ct=9, pl=5220, sd=A; Seeing was variable 2-3", small clouds went through the field. We think s/n was low, probably this plates was not completed this night. ABBA exp time 500 sec, seq=2. Stephanie checked and noted that apogeeql actor was not working properly. Called to Haltzman, he restarted apogeql. 03:11 exposures ABBA exp time 150 sec. Even though this plate did not have high s/n, Peter asked us to unplug it. 03:28:11 loadCart: ct=6, pl=5238, sd=A; This plate does not have refraction correction set, Craig filed ticket about this. Initial gotoField were successful but the alt of telescope was too high to connect apogee fiber. We moved telescope to (az, 45, rot), connected fiber and applied gotoFiled again. We got gotoField filed with some guider and cold shutter times messes so it did not work. Craig was online and he consider it as a bag which he will fix soon but not tonight. For now, Craig suggested do not move telescope to low alt to connect fiber. We were later to start full seq for this plate, so we made short observations 04:19 exposures ABBA exp time 500 sec. Clouds, seeing 1.2-1.5". 04:53:35 loadCart: ct=3, pl=4914, sd=A; gotoField was right, started observations ABBA exp time 500 sec, seq=2. During the next exposure gcamera actor died. 36 05:18 02540036 Object ObjName 47 B Cart. 3, plate 4914, 060-04 (150 We stopped apogee science observations using sop. gcamera actor was restarted with stage manager. We found out that guider stopped its update at 05:00, during the first A-dither, so we need to start over. There was time left for one seq, but we made two with overtime as clouds became stronger. We might need to close soon and do not have time to use next cartridge. ABBA exp time 500 sec, seq=2. Seeing was 1-.5-1.2 during observations. Clouds were from strong to moderate. gcamera stopped one more time, we restarted it with stagemanager again. The last BA sequence was hit by strong clouds and probably might not be useful. We closed because overcast and nearby radar return. 06:43:23 encl25m : closed; We still keep ventilation in case the weather might improve. 08:52:23 encl25m : open; 08:58:28 loadCart: ct=4, pl=5283, sd=A; Found starts on GTF ABBA exp time 500 sec, seq=2. Seeing was ~2", clouds moderate. We thinks, weather condition and seeing were acceptable, so this plate might be done. 10:29:09 loadCart: ct=7, pl=5282, sd=A; While we mounted cartridge, new layer of clouds hit us again. We also saw nearby radar return. We started science exposure but during the first read we stopped observations and close. This exposure is not good at all. We did not do flat for this plate. 10:47:23 encl25m : closed; ---- Spectroscopy Data Summary ---- Reading FITS from /data/apogee/utr_cdr/55816/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
