Subject: 2.5m obslog 20130101 (MJD 56294) From: gebelke@apo.nmsu.edu Date: Wed, 2 Jan 2013 11:53:00 +0000 (UTC) APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Tuesday January 01, 2013 (MJD 56294) ---- Observing Team ---- Moses Marchante Garrett Ebelke Ting Xiao Anne-Marie Weijmans Kaike Pan (afternoon) ---- Observing Plan ---- 1 Jan 2013 56294.0 0.69 01:21 12:53 01:06 12:39 BOSS until 04:27 (3.1 h), then APOGEE (8.7 h) ---- Observing Summary ---- The entire night was lost to high humidity and blowing snow. There were a couple of times we thought we could open, but there was too much blowing snow for us to feel comfortable. There was a little ice on the power rail shoes, and the white brackets below the power rails. It doesn't seem like it will cause problems, and I'm sure the sun will melt it tomorrow. 11:33Z - Started APOGEE Morning Cals, BOSS 20x Bias and BOSS 1x 900s dark ---- Observing Log ---- Afternoon: --------- 21:45Z Started snow removing on the path from opts building to 25m enclosure, 25m apron area. the west side of the enclosure. The west side of the enclosure has not been cleaned, see frozen snows and ices. BOSS collimation was checked on cart 17. The B1 focus ring was moved by 5 degrees. COLLIMATE: Camera b1 appears to be OUT-OF-FOCUS (|mean| > 0.15 pix) COLLIMATE: Predict blue camera ring movement of -5.5 degrees for spectro-1 COLLIMATE: Camera b2 appears to be OUT-OF-FOCUS (|mean| > 0.15 pix) COLLIMATE: Predict blue camera ring movement of 5.0 degrees for spectro-2 COLLIMATE: Camera r1 appears to be IN-FOCUS (|mean| < 0.15 pix) COLLIMATE: Predict (red) piston movement of -85 steps for spectro-1 COLLIMATE: Issue command: "boss moveColl spec=sp1 a=-85 b=-85 c=-85" COLLIMATE: Camera r2 appears to be IN-FOCUS (|mean| < 0.15 pix) COLLIMATE: Predict (red) piston movement of 170 steps for spectro-2 COLLIMATE: Issue command: "boss moveColl spec=sp2 a=170 b=170 c=170" motorPosition sp1: -3822, -3828, -4116; sp2: -1857, -3052, -3165; Median spectrographs temperatures: Tsp1= 1.7, Tsp2= 1.1; Outside air temperature= -6.5; APOGEE evening calibs were taken and checked. 00:30Z humidity dropped to a point we could ventilate the system. Started ventilation and mounted cart 18. But blowing snows are seen. ----- Night ----- 2:00Z - Stopped ventilation, winds picked up and were blowing snow out of the trees. We found a nice wind blown "stream" of snow flowing through the telescope floor and decided it was time to close the doors. 07:37Z - Started ventilating again. Mounted cart 8 to prepare for opening. 08:30Z - We went outside to open the telescope after the winds died down, however once we got outside, we could see that there was a lot more blowing snow in the air than we thought. We could hear snow/ice in the trees rustling around which indicated there was more snow in the trees than we could see. So, after seeing more snow blowing in the enclosure, we stopped ventilation. ---- Spectroscopy Data Summary ---- Reading FITS from /data/apogee/quickred/56294/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
