Subject: 2.5m obslog 20130616 (MJD 56460) From: kinemuchi@apo.nmsu.edu Date: Mon, 17 Jun 2013 11:29:08 +0000 (UTC) APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Sunday June 16, 2013 (MJD 56460) ---- Observing Team ---- Audrey Oravetz Karen Kinemuchi ---- Observing Plan ---- 16 Jun 2013 56460.0 0.54 03:36 10:33 14:15 21:13 APOGEE until 07:14 (3.9 h), then BOSS (3.3 h) ---- Observing Summary ---- Lost first half of the night due to storms. We had a brief power outage and was on generator power. Once the storms cleared up, we had good seeing and S/N. APOGEE OBSERVING: Cart 9 (Plate 6911) -- 1xABBA + 1xAB [no missing fibers; faint fibers #133,284] Cart 6 (Plate 7005) -- 1xAB [missing fiber #79; faint fibers #15,21,34,297] BOSS OBSERVING: Cart 16 (Plate 6313) -- DONE! Cart 18 (Plate 5961) -- DONE! Note to day staff: I had a little trouble with the slithead cover latches on Cart 16. The latches were too tight on one of the slithead covers, so the hooks are the only things keeping that slithead cover on. Minor problem: The fiducial monitor gui in STUI is not showing any fiducial errors for the Alt axis. Readings are updated for both rot and az axes. The last Alt reading (according the podium STUI session) was at 19:20Z (this afternoon). Since then, no updates are listed in the fiducial monitor window. See observing log for more details. ---- Observing Log ---- Afternoon: ========== Checked actors/software, gathered mirror numbers, started APOGEE and BOSS cals.
