Brewington Audrey Oravetz Olena Malanushenko (afternoon checkout) ---- Observing Summary ---- We were not able to open tonight due to snow and high humidity. ---- Observing Plan ---- Sun 11 JAN 2015 57034.0 0.66 01:30 13:08 01:51 13:32 ---- eBOSS until 06:20 ( 4.8 h), then APOGEE-2 ( 6.8 h) ---- Observing Log ---- Afternoon: ========== Tested actors, reviewed status - all ok. ----------------- 22:44:01 Hartmann collimate output on cart #14 sp1: offset: r=-659 (In Focus); b=-4.4 (Out of focus) sp1: pred. move: spAverageMove= 377 sp1: pred. spResiduals: r=-1036, b=-3.2, txt=OK, spTemp = 6.5 sp2: offset: r=631 (In Focus); b=1.6 (In Focus) sp2: pred. move: spAverageMove= 63 sp2: pred. spResiduals: r=567, b=1.8, txt=OK, spTemp = 5.9 Median spectrographs temperatures: Tsp1= 6.5, Tsp2= 5.9; Outside air temperature= -1.6; motorPosition sp1: 578, 576, 578; sp2: 19049, 18220, 19417; ------------------ Took boss calibrations, ok. Obtained and checked apogee evening calibrations, they look good. Did not start ventilation because of high humidity. Night ------- 23:00Z - Starting to snow. Very dense fog. 10:39Z - Lots of humidity. We just will not be able to open tonight with the combination of the snow, humidity, and clouds. Started cals. Put everything away. The pressure release valve for the 180L dewer for SP2 is continually spitting out gas. The spectrographs just filled, so we are not sure if it will stop on its own. ---- Telescope Status ---- No interlocks bypassed Status at: Telescope stowed at: 121.0, 30.0, 0.0 mount Instrument mounted: cartridge = Counterweights at: LN2 autofill systems: Connected and turned on 180L LN2 dewar scales: SP1 248 lbs, 16 psi SP2 240 lbs, 22 psi ---- Software Used ---- Get Versions, 01/12/15, 22:41:57 -- STUI software: STUI : 1.5.2 alerts : trunk+svn149374 apo : trunk+svn158476 boss : v3_5 -boss.daq : 1.3.2 -boss.specMec : 3.0.4 gcamera : v2_0 guider : v2_5 hartmann : v1_4_1 hub : Tag: sdss4_v2_1 mcp : v6_6_18 -mcp.plc : 31 -mcp.azFiduci : v1_114 -mcp.altFiduc : v1_114 -mcp.rotFiduc : v1_114 platedb : v2_3 sop : v2_16 tcc : 2.14.0 apogee : not availble apogeecal : not availble apogeeql : branch_external_addExposure+svn159463 -- Other software sdssProcedure : v3_06 APO-local : trunk idlspec2d (sos3) --- v5_7_7 plate-mapper3 ------ NOCVS:v5_1_9 ---- Mirror Numbers ---- PRIMARY: -------- Scale: 1.000000 MIGS TONIGHT NOMINAL Axial A: 0.029 0.032 Axial B: -0.011 -0.026 Axial C: -0.025 -0.024 Trans D: -0.017 -0.014 Lateral E: 10.7061 10.7061 Lateral F: 12.319 12.3063 GALILS Commanded: 10850 -450 5750 13050 14750 14300 Actual: 10850 -450 5750 13050 14750 14300 SETMIR VALUES PrimDesOrient: 0.00 0.00 0.00 651.00 937.40 PrimOrient: 0.00 0.00 0.00 651.08 936.54 SECONDARY: ---------- Focus: 0.00 Air temp: -1.5 Altitude: 29.7 MIGS TONIGHT NOMINAL Axial A: -7.063 -7.065 Axial B: -7.119 -7.121 Axial C: -7.025 -7.028 Trans D: -0.185 -0.188 GALILS Commanded: 1581300 1578850 1590700 1400 -2000 Actual: 1581299 1578836 1590704 1400 -2000 SETMIR VALUES SecDesOrient: 1257.00 -3.80 0.00 0.00 9.58 SecOrient: 1257.01 -3.81 0.01 0.00 9.44
