Subject: 2.5m obslog 20140205 (MJD 56694) From: doravetz@apo.nmsu.edu Date: Thu, 6 Feb 2014 11:55:45 +0000 (UTC) APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Wednesday February 05, 2014 (MJD 56694) ---- Observing Team ---- Howard J. Brewington Dan Oravetz Kaike Pan (day) ---- Observing Plan ---- 5 Feb 2014 56694.0 0.47 01:49 12:45 03:51 14:48 BOSS 10.9 hours ---- Observing Summary ---- The night was lost to clouds, high humidity, and nearby precipitation. We were unable to run scripts and IDL programs on sos3. The problem was traced to the log mining package (splunk) using up all the space on sos3:/ (it's configured to use /data/splunk but somehow reverted back to /). Jon B. cleaned up disk space and moved splunk dbs back to /data/splunk and we were able to run sos3 programs normally again. ---- Observing Log ---- Afternoon: ---------- BOSS collimation was checked on cart 15. No adjustment was made. Predict blue camera ring movement of -2.5 degrees for spectro-1 Predict blue camera ring movement of 0.7 degrees for spectro-2 Predict (red) piston movement of 0 steps for spectro-1 Predict (red) piston movement of 298 steps for spectro-2 motorPosition sp1: 14126, 14272, 13940; sp2: 13306, 12677, 13803; Median spectrographs temperatures: Tsp1= 0.5, Tsp2= -0.3; Outside air temperature= -3.6; All systems and actors were checked out, no Problem to report. 23:30Z: Weather doesn't look very promising, but good enough for ventilation. So we started ventilation. Night ===== We did not open on time because of clouds and nearby radar returns. 01:50Z - Stopped ventilation as radar looked like snow could arrive on site. 07:30Z - We started ventilation again as the weather looked like it might improve. 09:30Z - Stopped ventilation as humidity was increasing and a few snow flakes began to fall. Called it a night. Ran APOGEE autoscheduler. Started APOGEE morning calibration sequence and BOSS biases and dark. ---- Telescope Status ---- Status at: 11:00Z Telescope stowed at: 121.0, 30.0, 0.0 mount Instrument mounted: cartridge = 15 Counterweights at: 439 438 437 440 LN2 autofill systems: Connected and turned on 180L LN2 dewar scales: SP1 194.80 lbs, 21.37 psi SP2 208.50 lbs, 22.58 psi ---- Software Used ---- STUI: 1.3 2013-09-05 alerts: v1_3_0 apo: v1_10 boss: v2_5_15 boss.daq: 1.3.2 boss.specMech: 3.0.4 gcamera: v1_3_7 guider: v1_6_3 hub: Tag: sdss3_v1_2_0 mcp: v6_6_17 mcp.plc: 29 mcp.azFiducialVersion: v1_111 mcp.altFiducialVersion: v1_111 mcp.rotFiducialVersion: v1_111 platedb: v1_1_0 sop: v1_3_2 sos: v1_2_0 sos.idlspec2d: v5_6_7a tcc: 2.14.0 apogee: -not availble- apogeecal: -not availble- apogeeql: v1_5_3 ----Other software---- sdssProcedure(sdss3): v3_06 APO-local scripts : not availble idlspec2d (sos3) --- v5_6_7 plate-mapper3 ------ NOCVS:v5_0_14a ---- Mirror Numbers ---- PRIMARY: -------- Scale: 1.000000 MIGS TONIGHT NOMINAL Axial A: 15.007 15.012 Axial B: 15.999 16.003 Axial C: 15.524 15.53 Trans D: 10.403 10.407 Lateral E: 10.6426 10.6172 Lateral F: 12.2809 12.2809 GALILS Commanded: 11300 -650 5500 21900 13500 13050 Actual: 11300 -650 5500 21900 13500 13050 SETMIR VALUES PrimDesOrient: 0.00 0.00 0.00 612.35 1500.90 PrimOrient: 0.00 0.00 0.00 612.07 1500.38 SECONDARY: ---------- Focus: 0.00 Air temp: -3.5 Altitude: 30.0 MIGS TONIGHT NOMINAL Axial A: -7.064 -7.062 Axial B: -7.038 -7.035 Axial C: -7.078 -7.077 Trans D: 0.029 0.026 GALILS Commanded: 1576000 1582800 1592550 -8800 -3350 Actual: 1576021 1582893 1592525 -8800 -3350 SETMIR VALUES SecDesOrient: 1257.00 -4.10 3.00 -100.00 143.14 SecOrient: 1257.01 -4.09 3.01 -100.03 143.62 ---- Problems in Detail ---- Error messages from attempts at running scripts on sos3: [observer@sos3 ~]$ list /home/observer/bin/list: line 18: cannot create temp file for here document: No space left on device [observer@sos3 ~]$ idl IDL Version 7.1 (linux x86_64 m64).
