Subject: 2.5m obslog 20130525 (MJD 56438) From: asimmons@apo.nmsu.edu Date: Sun, 26 May 2013 11:40:00 +0000 (UTC) APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Saturday May 25, 2013 (MJD 56438) ---- Observing Team ---- Dan Oravetz Audrey Oravetz ---- Observing Plan ---- 25 May 2013 56438.0 APOGEE 7.9 hours Flexible Night Engineering ---- Observing Summary ---- Clear night. We observed: *cart 3, APOGEE plate 5676, 120+60_A. 2XABBA. No missing fibers. Faint fibers: 177, 188, 232, 248, 250, 258 *cart 7, APOGEE plate 6767, 110+60_A. 2XABBA. No missing fibers. Faint fibers: 133, 177, 188, 200, 232 *cart 4, APOGEE plate 5758, 080+45_A. 2XABBA. No missing fibers. Faint fibers: 158, 177, 232, 283, 284 *cart 6, APOGEE plate 6094, K17_072+13_A. 3XABBA. No missing fibers. Faint fibers: 15, 34, 177, 297 *cart 8, APOGEE plate 6216, K08_073+19_A. 2XABBA. Missing fiber: 184. Faint fibers: 133, 177 *cart 9, APOGEE plate 6098, K05_080+14_A. 2XABBA and 1XAB. No missing fibers. Faint fibers: 177, 248, 284 Note: 1) The outside manipulator arm seems to work fine, but is giving off a louder noise than usual. 2) The track mouse for the telescope laptop no longer works. 3) The apogeeql archiver failed intermittently last night, and stopped altogether just before the night was finished. Some frames were never archived. All of the images have been written to /data/apogee/utr_cdr/56438 and //data-ql/data/56438 but have not been transferred to /data/apogee/archive/56438. We restarted the actor a few times, but it did not help. We sent an email to JonH. 4) The slew to alt=6 degrees failed in the morning because the move did not decelerate. See problem section for details. ---- Observing Log ---- Afternoon ========= Checked STUI actors, checked mirror numbers, checked upper and lower telescope enclosure, checked fiducials, cleaned APOGEE gang connector and took APOGEE evening cals, verified APOGEE archiving, took a few BOSS biases to verify aliveness, took guider dark.
