Subject: 2.5m obslog 20120426 (MJD 56044) From: snedden@apo.nmsu.edu Date: Fri, 27 Apr 2012 12:22:00 +0000 (UTC) APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Thursday April 26, 2012 (MJD 56044) ---- Observing Team ---- Dan Oravetz Steph Snedden ---- Observing Plan ---- 26 Apr 2012 56044.0 BOSS 7.6 hours ---- Observing Summary ---- It was a windy and dusty night. We did manage to open to observe the following: BOSS Cartridge 12, plate 5862 - Not done Cartridge 16, plate 4713 - DONE Cartridge 18, plate 4979 - Not quite done APOGEE Cartridge 7, plate 5834, 022-02, APOGEE One 500s. AB sequence, but we had a burned out flat-field lamp, so the flat field will probably be too faint. Maybe the data are useful? See the main log body. Fibers 5, 75 and 204 were flagged as faint; no missing fibers. Spectro monthly biases, darks, flats for BOSS were taken while we were closed for dust and wind. Notes for the engineering crew: ------------------------------- During the APOGEE morning twilight sequence, one of the flat-field lamps failed. Because it was so late, I'm afraid we did not change the lamp. Thank you in advance for changing it for us. We accumulated a lot of dust tonight, so please CO2 clean the optics before we start the weekend. ---- Observing Log ---- Afternoon ========= Checked actors, took biases, darks, cals, hartmanns for BOSS. Started APOGEE evening cals. Gathered mirror numbers. Spectrographs adjusted for: COLLIMATE: Camera b1 appears to be OUT-OF-FOCUS (|mean| > 0.15 pix) COLLIMATE: Predict blue camera ring movement of -6.7 degrees for spectro-1 COLLIMATE: Camera b2 appears to be OUT-OF-FOCUS (|mean| > 0.15 pix) COLLIMATE: Predict blue camera ring movement of 5.4 degrees for spectro-2 COLLIMATE: Camera r1 appears to be IN-FOCUS (|mean| 40.1 ------------------------------------------------------------ 07:32Z Dust spiked during this sequence. We closed and shut off ventilation. This plate is not done. Exposure 143184 was stopped so we could close and declared bad. 08:32Z - Ventilation restarted, doors opened, as dust started to drop again. 09:03Z - Opened back up. 09:09Z - Cartridge 16, plate 4713 - BOSS ---------------------------------------- GSOGTF 09:11:30 hartSp2: r=-141, b=-0.5, txt=OK, sp2Temp = 7.4 ; 09:11:30 sos.sp2AverageMove = -6482 09:11:47 motorPos.sp2.move: -6481, -6484, -6482; 09:11:47 hartSp1: r=-1601, b=-5.5, txt=OK, sp1Temp = 7.6 ; 09:11:47 sos.sp1AverageMove = -6859 09:12:10 motorPos.sp1.move: -6858, -6858, -6859; ------------------------------------------------------------ MJD b1 r1 b2 r2 Texp Sum Plugfile ------------------------------------------------------------ 56043 0.5 1.0 0.4 0.8 900.8 2.7 4713-56043-01 56043 0.2 0.4 0.2 0.3 900.8 1.1 4713-56043-01 56043 1.7 3.9 1.6 3.3 900.8 10.5 4713-56043-01 56043 2.9 6.6 2.7 5.6 900.8 17.8 4713-56043-01 56043 2.5 5.2 2.4 4.5 900.8 14.6 4713-56043-01 56043 0.3 0.4 0.2 0.4 900.8 1.3 4713-56043-01 56044 2.1 5.0 2.1 4.8 900.8 14.0 4713-56043-01 56044 2.0 4.4 1.9 4.5 900.8 12.8 4713-56043-01 ------------------------------------------------------------ s/n= 12.2 26.9 11.5 24.2 7206.4 --> 74.8 ------------------------------------------------------------ This plate is DONE 10:03Z - Cartridge 18, plate 4979 - BOSS ---------------------------------------- GSOGTF 10:01:39 hartSp2: r=995, b=3.4, txt=OK, sp2Temp = 6.2 ; 10:01:39 sos.sp2AverageMove = -2175 10:01:47 motorPos.sp2.move: -2175, -2175, -2175; 10:01:47 hartSp1: r=-870, b=-3.0, txt=OK, sp1Temp = 6.7 ; 10:01:47 sos.sp1AverageMove = -1185 10:01:52 motorPos.sp1.move: -1183, -1185, -1180; ------------------------------------------------------------ MJD b1 r1 b2 r2 Texp Sum Plugfile ------------------------------------------------------------ 56044 2.0 6.0 2.3 5.8 900.8 16.1 4979-56043-01 56044 2.7 7.3 3.2 7.2 900.8 20.4 4979-56043-01 56044 2.1 5.7 2.4 5.5 900.8 15.7 4979-56043-01 56044 1.8 5.5 2.1 5.2 900.8 14.6 4979-56043-01 ------------------------------------------------------------ s/n= 8.6 24.5 10.0 23.7 3603.2 --> 66.8 ------------------------------------------------------------ Not quite done. 11:20Z - Cartridge 7, plate 5834, 022-02, APOGEE ------------------------------------------------ GSOGTF, but one of the flat field lamps chose this moment to burn out. We were able to take a guider flat with 3 lamps on, but the flat-field after the science sequence may be too faint. So, these data may or may not be useful, but if we stopped to change the lamp, we would not have the time to take any data, so either way, we would lose. Clear skies, seeing 1.5 - 1.8" Took one 500 s.
