Subject: 2.5m obslog 20130918 (MJD 56554) From: viktorm@apo.nmsu.edu Date: Thu, 19 Sep 2013 11:12:33 +0000 (UTC) APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Wednesday September 18, 2013 (MJD 56554) ---- Observing Team ---- Karen Kinemuchi Viktor Malanushenko ---- Observing Plan ---- 18 Sep 2013 56554.0 0.98 02:13 11:42 19:02 04:33 APOGEE 10.1 hours Flexible Engineering ---- Observing Summary ---- All the night was lost to clouds, radar return, high humidity, and low dewpoint diff. BOSS biases & dark started APOGEE morning cals started. At 7:37Z we got "CRITICAL alert on boss.SP2SecondaryDewarPress" -- We did a force-fill and cleared some of the frost/ice on the connectors. SP2 is at 7lbs and SP1 is at 12 for pressure on the secondary dewar. Details in to "Observing Log" section. The humidity this evening has been hovering between 96-99% outside. We suspect there may be some condensation inside the pipes that may have been blocking the LN2 to fill the dewars. Could the day staff please check and see if this is the case? ---- Observing Log ---- AFTERNOON CHECKOUT: ------------------- 23:26Z Took ThreeReadDark -ok; started APOGEE evening cals; grabbed mirror stats - ok; actors tested -ok; gcamera/guider prep done; 23:57Z High humidity, clouds, and nearby radar return is keeping us closed. Ventilation is postponed. Critical alert: 07:37:08 .alerts 0 alerts e alert=boss.SP1SecondaryDewarPress,critical,"Reported by camCheck",enabled,noack,"" Inspection show , that the pressure of secondary dewar of sp1 is low: sp1LN2: 0.0; sp2LN2: 8.0; CCD temperature quite good: ---------- Boss CCD Temp : sp1r0= -124.2 (-126.6); sp1b2= -99.6 (-100.0); sp2r0= -134.0 (-134.8); sp2b2= -100.8 (-100.0); ---------- 07:43Z - We went down to the telescope and started a force fill seq. which did not help us. The connectors and the vent pipes were covered in frost/ice, which we cleared. We then tried a force-fill in auto mode, but this didn't work for SP2 (SP1 was fine and the fill was successful). We then switched to "manual" mode for the force-fill, and SP2 slowly recovered. After SP2 was at about 6lbs, we issued a startfillseq command a couple of times. Pressure on SP2 finally went up to 7-8lbs (SP1 was at 10-12 lbs). The CCD temperature is normal and did not change during this time. The force-fill switch is back to "auto" mode. ---- Spectroscopy Data Summary ---- raw_data: /data/apogee/utr_cdr/56554/apRaw-*.fits quick_red: /data/apogee/quickred/56554/ap2D-a-*.fits.fz archive:
