Subject: 2.5m obslog 20120510 (MJD 56058) From: dmbiz@apo.nmsu.edu Date: Fri, 11 May 2012 11:17:11 +0000 (UTC) APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Thursday May 10, 2012 (MJD 56058) ---- Observing Team ---- Dan Oravetz Dmitry Bizyaev ---- Observing Plan ---- BOSS, APOGEE, MARVELS ---- Observing Summary ---- The night was completely lost due to high humidity and clouds. ---- Observing Log ---- Afternoon ========= Checked that STUI actors were alive and responsive. Took guider dark, BOSS biases, dark, Hartmanns, cals, APOGEE evening cals. Checked fiducial crossings, mirror numbers, checked-out upper/lower telescope enclosures. COLLIMATE: Camera b1 appears to be OUT-OF-FOCUS (|mean| > 0.15 pix) COLLIMATE: Predict blue camera ring movement of -4.0 degrees for spectro-1 COLLIMATE: Camera b2 appears to be OUT-OF-FOCUS (|mean| > 0.15 pix) COLLIMATE: Predict blue camera ring movement of 3.4 degrees for spectro-2 COLLIMATE: Camera r1 appears to be IN-FOCUS (|mean| < 0.15 pix) COLLIMATE: Predict (red) piston movement of 0 steps for spectro-1 COLLIMATE: Camera r2 appears to be IN-FOCUS (|mean| < 0.15 pix) COLLIMATE: Predict (red) piston movement of 213 steps for spectro-2 motorPositions: sp1: 29383, 31513, 23104 sp2: 32413, 30915, 34282 Median spectrographs temperatures: Tsp1 = 11.4, Tsp2 = 10.6 Outside air temperature = 6.2 Ventilation delayed due to rain and humidity. Night ===== We did not have a chance to open because of high humidity and clouds. 10:30Z we still have high humidity, although the sky is mostly clear. All surfaces around the telescope are wet. 10:35Z APOGEE calibrations started. Autoscheduler ran. ---- Weather Log ---- Wind 1 um DIMM IRSC Time Temp C Dewp C MPH Dir Dust fwhm mean sigma 18:00 4.2 3.2 5.7 74.0 122 18:15 4.0 3.0 4.7 86.2 275 18:30 3.8 2.7 8.9 40.6 204 18:45 3.3 2.3 5.2 87.5 129 19:00 3.6 2.2 6.9 37.1 90 19:15 4.1 2.4 3.0 8.9 57 19:30 4.1 2.7 0.5 308.5 110 19:45 4.1 2.9 10.8 56.0 86 20:00 4.0 2.6 5.5 72.1 83 20:15 4.1 3.1 1.0 91.8 117 20:30 4.1 2.9 0.4 128.6 132 20:45 4.4 3.2 0.8 268.5 102 21:00 4.0 2.8 5.0 98.3 104 21:15 4.3 2.9 5.3 354.3 109 21:30 4.7 3.9 0.7 233.4 209 21:45 4.6 3.7 9.1 41.1 346 22:00 4.3 3.1 7.4 72.1 422 22:15 4.8 3.4 1.5 92.0 1011 22:30 5.0 3.3 4.5 65.4 1133 22:45 5.2 3.6 3.6 60.1 1142 23:00 5.4 3.9 2.2 352.0 1220 23:15 5.5 4.2 0.6 133.5 1301 23:30 5.3 4.3 0.0 357.0 1212 23:45 5.3 3.9 3.4 4.0 1258 00:00 5.5 3.8 2.7 30.2 1345 00:15 5.3 3.9 1.5 338.8 1423 00:30 5.6 3.5 10.6 2.0 1335 00:45 5.0 4.7 2.9 346.6 2212 01:00 4.9 4.7 2.9 344.0 1393 01:15 4.9 4.9 0.9 234.5 23600 01:30 4.9 4.9 0.4 79.6 10320 01:45 5.1 4.9 1.1 312.5 6486 02:00 4.4 4.4 5.6 282.0 6127 02:15 3.9 3.8 1.1 300.1 35037 02:30 3.3 3.3 1.4 310.4 717 02:45 3.5 3.5 2.4 16.5 972 03:00 4.0 3.8 6.9 10.8 1129 03:15 3.9 3.7 1.6 305.7 1195 03:30 3.6 3.3 5.1 357.2 1115 03:45 3.8 3.4 0.8 306.5 1106 04:00 3.8 3.5 2.8 286.8 1158 04:15 3.6 3.4 6.2 308.3 1069 04:30 3.9 3.5 8.5 5.8 963 04:45 4.4 3.7 7.9 2.9 1333 05:00 4.9 3.7 7.6 309.2 1564 05:15 5.6 3.9 11.8 21.1 1559 05:30 5.8 3.9 13.6 29.5 1509 05:45 6.2 3.8 1.1 20.3 1787 06:00 6.6 3.1 6.0 291.5 1846 06:15 6.8 2.9 10.4 11.3 1560 06:30 7.0 2.6 6.6 355.2 1491 06:45 6.8 3.1 10.6 356.0 1577 07:00 7.0 2.7 15.8 11.1 1566 07:15 7.9 1.3 5.0 26.7 1533 07:30 7.4 2.1 11.1 2.8 1493 07:45 6.7 2.6 7.7 5.1 1506 08:00 6.6 2.9 5.9 350.1 1615 08:15 6.3 3.2 5.4 345.0 1661 08:30 6.2 3.5 6.7 354.1 1773 08:45 6.0 3.5 1.8 5.7 1848 09:00 6.2 3.3 6.5 359.3 1905 09:15 6.2 3.2 7.4 359.2 1751 09:30 6.4 2.8 7.1 350.9 1741 09:45 6.6 2.8 4.5 347.2 1756 10:00 6.2 2.9 7.0 8.3 1718 10:15 6.8 2.8 5.8 0.2 1713 10:30 5.9 3.1 4.6 354.1 1642 10:45 5.8 3.3 5.7 351.3 1735 11:00 5.9 3.3 8.7 350.0 1751 ---- Telescope Status ---- Did not open or start ventilation.
