Subject: 2.5m obslog 20160330 (SJD 57478) From: kinemuchi@apo.nmsu.edu Date: Thu, 31 Mar 2016 11:37:59 +0000 (UTC) APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Wednesday March 30, 2016 (SJD 57478) ---- Observing Team ---- Patrick Gaulme Karen Kinemuchi John Downey (help with LN2 tank) ---- Observing Summary ---- Entire night lost to dust, high wind, and radar returns. MaNGA lost 5.2 hours. APOGEE lost 4.2 hours. Notes to day staff and developers: ---------------------------------- We noted on the TPM spectro-psi value was red for most of the night (LN2 tank connected to SP2). We contacted JohnD to check and make sure there were no obvious LN2 leaks from that dewar tank. ---- Observing Plan ---- Wed 30 MAR 2016 57478.0 0.59 02:32 11:58 08:04 17:31 ---- MaNGA until 07:45 ( 5.2 h), then APOGEE-2 ( 4.2 h) ---- Observing Log ---- ============================================================================ AFTERNOON CHECKOUT ============================================================================ 23:10Z Started afternoon checkouts %...

We see possible verga near site. 08:09Z Lots of radar. Still closed. 8:30Z We called JohnD to check on the LN2 tank attached to SP2, since the tank was venting quite a bit and leaked out ~10lbs of LN2. He recommended tapping the connector, and that stopped the venting. However, on TPM display, the spectro-psi value appears in red. This value has not recovered as of 11:30Z. The actual pressure in both LN2 tanks are okay. See telescope status section of the log for the latest reading from this night. 11:27Z Giving up. Cloudy and radar return. ---- Telescope Status ---- Never ventilated or opened.
