Subject: 2.5m obslog 20140914 (MJD 56915) From: dmbiz@apo.nmsu.edu Date: Mon, 15 Sep 2014 11:12:30 +0000 (UTC) APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Sunday September 14, 2014 (MJD 56915) ---- Observing Team ---- Viktor Malanushenko Dmitry Bizyaev ---- Observing Plan ---- Sun 14 SEP 2014 56915.0 0.64 02:19 12:12 18:52 04:47 ---- MaNGA until 05:23 ( 3.1 h), then APOGEE-2 ( 6.8 h) ----------------------------------------- MaNGA Observing plan for night of Sept 14 ----------------------------------------- Night contact: José Plate 7990: Visibility window: LST 14:56 — 20:00 = UT 22:24 — 3:27 Plate 7980: Visibility window: LST 19:53 — 00:32 = UT 03:20 — 7:59 Plate 7979: Visibility window: LST 19:57 — 00:36 = UT 03:24 — 8:03 Our requirement for complete sets is that the beginning of the first exposure and the end of the third one cannot have a difference in hour angle larger than one hour (= 15 degrees). 1) start observing with plate 7990 (cart 2) take one E exposure to patch the incomplete set NS, with exposure numbers 183615 and 183616 (window: LST 17:49 — 19:16 = UT 1:16 — 02:44) take one S exposure to patch the other incomplete set EN, with exposure numbers 183619 and 183620 (window: LST 18:46 — 20:00 = UT 2:13 — 3:27) take as many dithered exposures as possible until the end of the visibility window of 7990 (LST 20:00 = UT 3:27). 2) change to plate 7979 (cart 3) take one E exposure and one S exposure to patch the incomplete set N with exposure number 183626 (window: observe before LST 21:18 = UT 4:44) take as many dithered exposures as possible until the end of the observing time for MaNGA (UT 5:23), or until the plate reaches its required S/N. 3) if you finish plate 7979 before the end of MaNGA observing time, then switch to plate 7980 (cart 1). Only do this if you have enough time to take an exposure (including overheads for calibrations), otherwise switch to APOGEE-2 a bit earlier than scheduled. take as many dithered exposures as possible until the end of the observing time for MaNGA (UT 5:23). NB: the incomplete sets and their hour angles (in degrees!) are stored in Petunia, and visible if you enter the plate id. See for instance here: ​plate 7990 . Note that for plate 7990, there was an S exposure already taken on MJD 56901, but because the exposure was not completed (54s exposure time instead of 900s), it can not be used to patch a set. ---- Observing Summary ---- The night was lost due to high humidity and thick fog. eBOSS morning calibration sequence hanged at ~10th bias - at Flushing stage. Reason unclear. Reloaded controllers.

We found that APOGEE bundling was stopped after 5th calib exposure out of 7. Since were not in rush, we notified JH not restarting the actor. JH found that apogeeql has to spawn and kill extra IDL processes if needed. If their number currently running exceeds certain limit (5), they are not spawned anymore. Apparently, old processes are not killed now, so new ones are not coming. We did not have a chance to open. 11:00Z call is a night. Calibs started.
