Subject: 2.5m obslog 20130126 (MJD 56319) From: dmbiz@apo.nmsu.edu Date: Sun, 27 Jan 2013 11:39:14 +0000 (UTC) APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Saturday January 26, 2013 (MJD 56319) ---- Observing Team ---- Garrett Ebelke Dmitry Bizyaev ---- Observing Plan ---- 26 Jan 2013 56319.0 0.97 01:41 12:51 03:04 14:15 APOGEE 11.8 hours ---- Observing Summary ---- The night was completely lost due to clouds, fog, rain, and snow. ---- Observing Log ---- ----- Afternoon ----- There was a lot of water on the West end of the telescope floor, it was seeping down through the floor by the azimuth drive flooring. The blue rain gutter on top of the PMSS air racks downstairs vital in keeping things dry. I laid down some pads to soak up the water. I assume this was just a combination of lots of rain and very high winds. 22:57Z - Started Afternoon checkout Started APOGEE Evening Cals APOGEE Evening cals failed on the "apogee shutter open" command after the first 60 read dark. 23:07:09 APO.gebelke 11 apogee f errorMessage="Dither Indexer not running" 23:07:09 CmdDone: APO.gebelke 11 apogee shutter open The APOGEE instrument window showed red for Dither "Off", Shutter "Off" and Collimator "Limits 1 1 1 1 1 1". I issued "apogee dither init" and then "apogee coll init" and took a set of cart change cals, the Dither and Shutter came back to black values, but the Collimator was still red "Limits 1 1 1 1 1 1". While switching between the first and second cart change darks, the Collimator value turned to a black "Ok". Restarting APOGEE Evening Cals.

However, before the evening cals were started, the APOGEE Instrument window was all Black and Ok. Checkout finished, ventilation delayed due to rain, high winds, high humidity, lots of cloud coverage and tons of nearby radar returns.
