Date: Tue, 29 Jan 2013 11:00:07 -0000 (UTC) Subject: Re: [sdss3-25mlog 1047] 2.5m obslog 20130128 (MJD 56321) From: "Garrett Ebelke" 10:56Z - Started APOGEE Evening Cals, Boss 20x Bias and 1x 900s Dark. Heating Mats - After allowing the heating mats to sit in the plug lab for 45min, they warmed up and flattened out. The mats flattened out on their own and I was able to connect the power plug to the mat (on the end that part of the rubber "grommet" broke off). I'm sure this will be fine with a little electrical tape or duct tape to "waterproof" it. There is a 10-12" snow drift in the enclosure, on the southwest corner (where snow is always blown under the roll-up door). There is also some snow accumulation on the northwest corner, under the trash can, although it is not as severe. 11:00Z - Humidity is still very high, dew point difference is 1C and the snow is still coming down very hard. There is around 2" of snow on the ground. We are sad to say that the entire night has been lost and we are calling it a night. I will send out a road conditions snow report after I get home to Alamogordo, around 5-5:30am. > > APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M > > OBSERVING LOG > Monday January 28, 2013 > > (MJD 56321) > > ---- Observing Team ---- > > Garrett Ebelke > Moses Marchante > Elena Malanushenko (afternoon) > > > ---- Observing Plan ---- > > 28 Jan 2013 56321.0 0.86 01:43 12:50 03:13 14:22 APOGEE 11.7 hours > > ---- Observing Summary ---- > > ----- Night ----- > > Heavy clouds and radar returns inside county prevented us from evening opening, > worsening humidity and high wind during the night.
