Subject: 2.5m obslog 20141217 (SJD 57009) From: dmbiz@apo.nmsu.edu Date: Thu, 18 Dec 2014 10:59:01 +0000 (UTC) APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Wednesday December 17, 2014 (SJD 57009) ---- Observing Team ---- Karen Kinemuchi Dmitry Bizyaev ---- Observing Summary ---- The night was lost due to snow and/or fog on site. Weight of both large LN2 tanks is under 100 lbs. A loose cut black fiber bundle hangs from ceiling in the lower enclosure, South corner, close to the pier. Probably, this is a remainder from today's gang connector repair? ---- Observing Plan ---- Wed 17 DEC 2014 57009.0 0.21 01:14 12:46 23:57 11:31 ---- eBOSS until 08:09 ( 6.9 h), then MaNGA ( 4.6 h) ---- Observing Log ---- AFTERNOON CHECKOUT: =================== 23:24Z Currently snowing and foggy on site. Cart 12 is already mounted and ready to be used for BOSS/MANGA collimation. 23:27Z Grabbed mirror numbers - ok; platedb checked - ok; tested actors -ok; gcamera/guider prep - done. 23:45Z BOSS bias and short dark - ok 23:46:08 boss exposure 0.0, file=191163 23:47:27 boss exposure 20.0, file=191164 Starting BOSS collimation. 23:56:19 Hartmann collimate output on cart #12 sp1: offset: r=-5607 (Out of focus); b=9.7 (Out of focus) sp1: pred. move: spAverageMove= -4346 sp1: pred. spResiduals: r=-1261, b=-4.0, txt=OK, spTemp = 3.8 sp2: offset: r=-2209 (Out of focus); b=6.5 (Out of focus) sp2: pred. move: spAverageMove= -2144 sp2: pred. spResiduals: r=-64, b=-0.2, txt=OK, spTemp = 3.4 Blue rings were not moved. ---------- motorPosition sp1: 16731, 16634, 16190; sp2: 17906, 17037, 18257; ---------- Median spectrographs temperatures: Outside air temperature= -2.2; 00:00Z Took BOSS arc and flat - ok; 00:00:39 boss exposure 30.0, file=191167 00:05:04 boss exposure 4.0, file=191168 00:50Z Cart bay check done. Telescope evening prep - done. Note: When doing the fiducial check on Az and Rot, the InstChange button on the Telescope Control gui did not work. The button works when the telescope is going from stow, however. Sent telescope from 151,90 mount to 121,90 mount /rota=0 /rotty=mount via tcc command. NIGHT: ====== Opening delayed because of snow and high humidity on site. We asked NAthan if we can take APOGEE calibs, he said yes, but the gang connector status is "?", and it erports 01:51:51 InvalidKeywordData=mcp.apogeeGang, ['10'] Supported JohnP's guider tests between 6 and 6:45Z. The night was lost due to snow and fog on site. --- 10:52Z started calibrations A & B ---- Weather Log ---- Wind 1 um DIMM IRSC Time Temp C Dewp C MPH Dir Dust fwhm mean sigma 19:00 -2.8 -3.6 14.5 248.9 639 19:15 -2.9 -3.7 21.2 241.4 816 19:30 -3.2 -3.8 13.0 261.0 724 19:45 -3.3 -3.8 19.2 267.9 823 20:00 -3.4 -3.8 13.8 264.1 814 20:15 -3.1 -3.7 15.6 262.5 623 20:30 -3.1 -3.9 13.7 265.2 639 20:45 -3.1 -4.2 19.2 257.5 513 21:00 -3.1 -4.2 20.4 254.6 535 21:15 -3.2 -3.9 19.1 267.3 2959 21:30 -2.8 -3.7 22.4 260.8 503 21:45 -2.8 -3.6 23.5 263.8 271 22:00 -2.8 -3.2 24.4 247.1 322 22:15 -2.8 -3.1 21.7 266.1 216 22:30 -2.8 -2.9 20.1 262.6 4494 22:45 -2.8 -2.9 18.7 250.7 9150 23:00 -2.8 -2.9 20.8 273.6 6020 23:15 -2.7 -2.8 18.9 250.0 9205 23:30 -2.5 -2.7 22.2 270.5 2935 23:45 -2.4 -2.6 19.3 275.8 244 00:00 -2.8 -3.1 19.2 274.6 284 00:15 -2.8 -3.1 15.2 288.6 298 00:30 -2.8 -3.1 16.0 266.4 283 00:45 -2.8 -3.1 22.0 284.5 260 01:00 -2.7 -3.0 19.0 271.4 249 01:15 -2.8 -3.1 22.4 263.8 270 01:30 -2.8 -3.1 20.5 260.5 268 01:45 -2.7 -2.9 21.2 262.7 257 02:00 -2.8 -2.9 20.2 257.4 10820 02:15 -2.8 -3.0 16.6 263.3 2721 02:30 -2.8 -3.1 19.4 262.8 11403 02:45 -2.8 -3.0 19.7 268.1 658 03:00 -3.0 -3.2 18.0 260.2 348 03:15 -2.9 -3.1 15.3 259.2 514 03:30 -3.3 -3.7 14.8 265.8 2096 03:45 -3.4 -3.7 21.4 269.7 1764 04:00 -3.6 -3.9 16.6 266.4 114 04:15 -3.7 -4.1 14.3 259.5 140 04:30 -3.7 -4.1 19.6 263.8 142 04:45 -3.7 -4.1 12.2 265.8 130 05:00 -3.7 -4.2 13.5 269.0 133 05:15 -3.8 -4.1 17.6 254.5 121 05:30 -3.7 -4.1 16.3 264.5 128 05:45 -3.6 -3.9 15.1 265.2 1787 06:00 -3.7 -3.9 15.8 263.9 3383 06:15 -3.7 -4.0 11.9 264.3 4407 06:30 -3.6 -3.9 14.6 258.5 4737 06:45 -3.6 -3.8 14.1 269.1 4141 07:00 -3.5 -3.8 11.3 264.7 279 07:15 -3.5 -3.8 13.8 267.1 148 07:30 -3.4 -3.8 10.1 264.3 4304 07:45 -3.4 -3.8 11.7 260.4 7480 08:00 -3.3 -3.6 13.0 268.8 5411 08:15 -3.3 -3.6 10.3 265.2 2263 08:30 -3.3 -3.7 15.4 262.0 1379 08:45 -3.3 -3.6 11.3 261.7 1445 09:00 -3.2 -3.3 12.9 224.4 907 09:15 -3.3 -3.7 14.9 223.6 3420 09:30 -3.1 -3.3 16.1 227.1 600 09:45 -2.8 -3.2 17.6 238.3 1195 10:00 -2.6 -3.1 13.5 232.3 579 10:15 -2.4 -3.1 10.3 259.6 177 10:30 -2.2 -2.9 11.0 265.2 211 10:45 -2.2 -3.1 9.4 260.8 793 ---- Telescope Status ---- Never opened tonight.
