Subject: 2.5m obslog 20120204 (MJD 55962) From: elenam@apo.nmsu.edu Date: Sun, 5 Feb 2012 11:40:53 +0000 (UTC) APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Saturday February 04, 2012 (MJD 55962) ---- Observing Team ---- Howard Brewington Elena Malanushenko Kaike Pan (afternoon) ---- Observing Plan ---- APOGEE/MARVELS ---- Observing Summary ---- We lost the night because of clouds and high humidity. ---- Observing Log ---- All systems and Actor were checked. APOGEE afternoon calibration was taken, frames were checked, they look good. test MARVELS exposures, bias, TIO, arc were taken, verified things were in spec. 23:00Z started ventilation. Night ------ Delay with opening because of heavy clouds. With little hope to get some light we opened. 02:02:30 encl25m : open; We decided to postpone spectro fill to use advantage of a hole in clouds. 02:05:21 loadCart: ct=6, pl=5543, sd=A; Found stars in large fibers. Seeing was ~5". We could not observe. Filled spectro. Clouds were more heavy. We was waiting for better conditions. Humidity was up, diff 2.4C, so we stopped ventilation and closed. 03:11:31 encl25m : closed; We did not open anymore. Started apogee morning calibrations. ---- Spectroscopy Data Summary ---- Reading FITS from /data/apogee/quickred/55962/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - N UT File/Exp Cart Plate Imagetype Dth Nread Comment - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 1 22:40 04000001 6 5543 Dark A 60 None 2 22:50 04000002 6 5543 QuartzFlat A 10 None 3 22:52 04000003 6 5543 ArcLamp A 12 None 4 22:55 04000004 6 5543 ArcLamp A 40 None 5 23:02 04000005 6 5543 ArcLamp B 12 None 6 23:04 04000006 6 5543 ArcLamp B 40 None 7 23:12 04000007 6 5543 Dark A 60 None - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - --- OK --- Reading FITS from /MARVELS/55962/et1/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Image Cart Plate Texp Exptype Object Seeing - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - T23:57:04.740 0 0. 1. 476.
