Subject: 2.5m obslog 20120211 (MJD 55969) From: doravetz@apo.nmsu.edu Date: Sun, 12 Feb 2012 11:55:58 +0000 (UTC) APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Saturday February 11, 2012 (MJD 55969) ---- Observing Team ---- Audrey Oravetz Dan Oravetz Steph Snedden (afternoon) ---- Observing Plan ---- BOSS until 05:14 (3.1 h), then MARVELS/APOGEE (7.7 h) ---- Observing Summary ---- Most of the night was lost to the weather: periods of high wind, high humidity, clouds, and light precipitation. We obtained two BOSS exposures at the beginning of the night on cartridge 12, but both were very low S/N because of clouds. We obtained an APOGEE/MARVELS exposure sequence on cartridge 3. ---- Observing Log ---- Afternoon: --------- 22:42Z - MARVELS ThAr lamp on Actors checked - all OK. APOGEE evening cals started. MARVELS bias, TIO, ThAr taken - they look similar to previous days. Gcamera dark, BOSS bias, dark, Hartmanns taken. With r1, r2 in focus: sp1Temp = 6.0, sp2Temp = 5.4 Predict blue camera ring movement of -5.5 degrees for spectro-1 Predict blue camera ring movement of 6.8 degrees for spectro-2 Collimation should be good for tonight. BOSS flat, arc taken and look normal. 00:01Z - Ventilation started. Checkout at telescope was without problems. Cartridge 12 is on the telescope. Night ===== 00:50Z - Opened to partly cloudy skies. Force-filled the spectrographs. Cart. 12, 5705 ************** 01:13:18 sop.gotoField = done; GSOGTF.

We were losing guide stars more often through the clouds. We waited and hoped for the weather to improve. The clouds had cleared for the most part, although satellite showed another band moving in from the W. We decided to try to observe in the gap for as long as it would last.

During the slew to instChange, we noticed radar returns to the W moving into the area. That, in addition to high winds and increased humidity, prompted us to close. 07:14Z - Closed. During the closure, we had forgotten to start the calibrations, so they were delayed. 09:45Z - Started APOGEE morning calibration sequence. 09:44Z - MARVELS cals. 11:56Z - We still have snow flurries, high humidity, and clouds.
