Subject: 2.5m obslog 20140326 (MJD 56743) From: doravetz@apo.nmsu.edu Date: Thu, 27 Mar 2014 11:12:57 +0000 (UTC) APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Wednesday March 26, 2014 (MJD 56743) ---- Observing Team ---- Audrey Oravetz Dan Oravetz John Parejko MaNGA Team ---- Observing Plan ---- 26 Mar 2014 56743.0 BOSS 9.4 hours; MaNGA commissioning; APOGEE after LST 15h ---- Observing Summary ---- Most of the night was lost to high winds, clouds, and high dust counts. We obtained four good exposures on cart. 11, 7304. John P. ran some guider tests/simulations. We completed spectro monthly biases, darks, and flats while we were closed. ---- 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 guider dark sequence. Focused BOSS spectrographs using cartridge 11 according to Observing Plan: Median spectrographs temperatures: Tsp1=7.1, Tsp2=6.3 Outside air temperature=8.9 COLLIMATE: Camera b1 appears to be IN-FOCUS (|mean| 35.85 [above 0.50] We were regularly losing guide stars during the last exposure. After it finished, we slewed to stow and closed the FF petals and we waited for conditions to improve. 04:39Z - Closed because wind gusts were increasing and we were still clouded out. Left telescope ventilating. John P. ran some tests with guiderActor while we were closed. Spectro monthly cloudy night tasks ********************************** Note that John P. ran some additional guider simulations while we were taking our biases/darks, so the cartridge/plate information in the headers will not be consistent across all of these exposures. 07:05Z - Took a sequence of 5 flats - exposures 177502 - 177506 07:15Z - Started sequence of 25 biases - exposures 177507 - 177531 07:48Z - Started a sequence of 3 darks @ 900s each - exposures 177532 - 177534 10:27Z - Stopped ventilation because the dust counts spiked to >20k counts. 11:12Z - Called it a night. Started APOGEE morning calibration sequence and BOSS biases and dark. Ran the auto scheduler. ---- Telescope Status ---- Status at: 11:12Z Telescope stowed at: 121.0, 30.0, 0.0 mount Instrument mounted: cartridge = 11 Counterweights at: 453 452 451 452 LN2 autofill systems: Connected and turned on 180L LN2 dewar scales: SP1 189.10 lbs, 24.34 psi SP2 162.80 lbs, 20.48 psi ---- Software Used ---- ---- STUI software ---- STUI: 1.3 2013-09-05 alerts: v1_3_0 apo: v1_10 boss: v2_5_16 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_18 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_9 tcc: 2.14.0 apogee: -not availble- apogeecal: -not availble- apogeeql: v1_5_3 ----Other software ---- sdssProcedure(sdss3): v3_06 APO-local scripts : trunk ---- Other versions ---- idlspec2d (sos3) --- v5_6_9 plate-mapper3 ------ NOCVS:v5_0_14a ---- Versions for MaNGA observing ---- STUI: 1.3.1b4 2014-02-25 boss: branch_boss_mangadb+svn153658 guider: branch_guider_mangadb+svn155139 platedb: branch_platedbActor_mangadb+svn154928 sop: branch_v1_2_19_bigCleanup+svn155152 ---- Mirror Numbers ---- PRIMARY: -------- Scale: 1.000000 MIGS TONIGHT NOMINAL Axial A: 15.011 15.011 Axial B: 16.006 16.003 Axial C: 15.53 15.529 Trans D: -0.002 -0.003 Lateral E: 10.6426 10.6299 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: 7.5 Altitude: 30.0 MIGS TONIGHT NOMINAL Axial A: -7.063 -7.063 Axial B: -7.037 -7.036 Axial C: -7.079 -7.078 Trans D: 0.027 0.024 GALILS Commanded: 1575950 1583000 1592550 -8800 -3350 Actual: 1575945 1583000 1592550 -8800 -3350 SETMIR VALUES SecDesOrient: 1257.00 -4.10 3.00 -100.00 143.14 SecOrient: 1257.00 -4.09 3.01 -100.03 143.62 ---- Miscellaneous ---- APOGEE morning calibration sequence summary: [observer@sos3 collimate]$ list_ap -m 56742 -morning APOGEE data list, mjd=56742 raw_data: /data/apogee/utr_cdr/56742/apRaw-*.fits quick_red: /data/apogee/quickred/56742/ap2D-a-*.fits.fz archive: /data/apogee/archive/56742/apR-[a,b,c]-*.apz -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- i UT File/Exp Imtype Nread Dth Ct-Plate Arch Offset %Flux Comm -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 11:02 11800008 Dark 60 A-13.0 2-7443 a-b-c -
