Subject: 2.5m obslog 20150506 (SJD 57149) From: gfreischlad@apo.nmsu.edu Date: Thu, 7 May 2015 11:35:39 +0000 (UTC) APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Wednesday May 06, 2015 (SJD 57149) ---- Observing Team ---- Audrey Oravetz Gordon Freischlad Kaike Pan (afternoon support) Jon Brinkmann (support) John Parejko (twilight testing) Conor Sayres (twilight testing) ---- Observing Summary ---- Lost most of the night to threatening radar. Lost about ~45mins of Manga time testing Parejko's new pointing model code. See log for details. We observed: Manga-led Co-observing ---------------------- Cart 1, plate 8318. 1xNSE Manga exposures. 3xAB Apogee exposures. Not finished.

Checking the enclosure, the South stop button had been pressed by the Documentation Cabinet door. It had been left unlatched and the wind blew it open. ---- Observing Plan ---- Wed 6 MAY 2015 57149.0 0.93 03:04 11:34 11:00 19:30 Day MaNGA until 04:19 ( 1.3 h), then APOGEE-2 ( 7.2 h) Twilight engineering tests ---- Observing Log ---- 00:24Z00:24ZAfternoon: ========== Checked actors, gathered guider dark, mirror numbers, BOSS cals, and APOGEE cals. motorPosition sp1: 3692, 3790, 3745; sp2: 22708, 21754, 23045; ---------- Median spectrographs temperatures: Tsp1= 8.0, Tsp2= 7.1; Outside air temperature= 13.4; Ran sop collimateBoss with cart 3: 21:35:48 sp1.motor.move= 29, 30, 31 21:35:53 sp2.motor.move= 192, 190, 189 21:35:59 Hartmann collimate output on cart #3 sp1: offset: r= -329 (In Focus); b= -1.2 (In Focus) sp2: offset: r= 631 (In Focus); b= 0.8 (In Focus) sp1: pred. move: spAverageMove= 28 sp2: pred. move: spAverageMove= 189 sp1: pred. spResiduals: r= -357, b= -1.1, txt= OK, spTemp = 8.0 sp2: pred. spResiduals: r= 441, b= 1.4, txt= OK, spTemp = 7.1 22:24Z - Checked out telescope.

Gathered a dark (10 sec, stack=9, gimg-0001.fits) and a flat (35 seconds, with 21-23K counts - gimg-0005.fits). Night: ====== 01:51:29 encl25m : open. Fill completed. 02:04Z During slew to field a stop button in the lower enclosure was hit. Checking the enclosure, the South stop button had been pressed by the Documentation Cabinet door. It had been left unlatched and the wind blew it open. ~02:00Z - ~03:15Z Parejko tested out his new pointing model code. We took saturated and non-saturated exposures of two stars and attempted to run the small 20 point grid. Initialization for the 20 point model worked, but then ran into some issues. Parejko said he can probably get it up and running during the day tomorrow. Manga-led Co-Observing ====================== 03:28:39 sop.gotoField cart 1 plate 8318. GSFOGTF. While starting the guider we had an error after switching off the ecamera and restarting the guider. The guider failed to take a flat and gave this message: 03:33:55 APO.aoravetz.sop 64 guider e text="setPoint is None: issue gcamera status and try again." We did not see this helpful message and proceeded to re-take darks and the flat which took some extra time. If the guider fails again Parejko asks observers to watch for this error and try "gcamera status" and see if it fixes it as he has not had the opportunity to see if it will solve the problem in the field yet. This should solve the guider's internal exception of the missing darks.
