Subject: 2.5m obslog 20120112 (MJD 55939) From: doravetz@apo.nmsu.edu Date: Fri, 13 Jan 2012 13:14:25 +0000 (UTC) APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Thursday January 12, 2012 (MJD 55939) ---- Observing Team ---- Audrey Oravetz Dan Oravetz Steph Snedden (afternoon) ---- Observing Plan ---- BOSS until 04:08 (2.4 h), then MARVELS/APOGEE (9.0 h) Flexible Engineering ---- Observing Summary ---- Battled clouds for the first few hours. BOSS ---- Obtained only one or two useful BOSS exposures because of clouds spanning cartridges 14, 5656 and 11, 5107. APOGEE/MARVELS -------------- 5501 3 180+00_A 5586 8 180+19_A 5572 7 210+08_A (SHARED) 5621 4 221+84_A Missing spectrum at y=534 in image. 5631 1 M3_A (SHARED) MARVELS spec. 15&16, 49&50, 81&82 very low S/N ---- Observing Log ---- Afternoon: --------- The engineering crew was working on the telescope when I arrived at the site. The altitude axis was strongly oscillating at somewhere between 30 to 60 Hz. After some investigating that Dan has described in the day log, he went to contact Craig to have him revert MCP versions. The oscillations happened because the PID coefficients had been changed to very wrong values (no doubt due to the MCP work that has been going on). They were reset. All this delayed afternoon checkout at the telescope. 21:43Z - Actors checked - all OK MARVELS ThAr lamp on MARVELS throughput looks normal. 21:59Z - APOGEE evening cals started. The flux through the fiber at y=526 has dropped to less than half that of normal. 22:57Z - BOSS collimation checked: COLLIMATE: Camera b1 appears to be OUT-OF-FOCUS (|mean| > 0.15 pix) COLLIMATE: Predict blue camera ring movement of -3.0 degrees for spectro-1 COLLIMATE: Camera b2 appears to be OUT-OF-FOCUS (|mean| > 0.15 pix) COLLIMATE: Predict blue camera ring movement of 3.2 degrees for spectro-2 The BOSS spectrographs are in spec for tonight. 00:02Z - BOSS flat and arc taken. *MIDs are in spec. R1 WSIGMA is in the yellow. Interlocks in column 3, row 2 (alt motor 1 permission) and column 3, row 3 (alt motor 2 permission) were re-enabled. They had been bypassed earlier in the afternoon. Night: ----- 00:20Z - Opened to partly cloudy skies. Forced fills. Checked balance. Test slew. BOSS ==== Obtained 3 exposures on Cart. 14, 5656 of which only one or two were actually useful S/N exposures. Obtained 5 exposures on Cart. 11, 5107 none of which were useful because of clouds. We lost guide stars at times because of the clouds as well, but we did have GSOGTF in both cases. Eventually we lost guide stars entirely for a matter of minutes and we decided to just wait for the weather. We slewed to stow and waited for the clouds to clear.
