Subject: 2.5m obslog 20160908 (SJD 57640) From: dmbiz@apo.nmsu.edu Date: Fri, 9 Sep 2016 12:23:17 +0000 (UTC) APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Thursday September 08, 2016 (SJD 57640) ---- Observing Team ---- Katie Grabowski Dmitry Bizyaev ---- Observing Summary ---- First half of the night was humid. Then we opened and closed few times, because of humidity. We went through the optical collimation procedure, collected many images, but did not finish it. The best FWHM was 2.1-2.6 pixels, which corresponds to 1-1.3", roughly. All guider images mentioned in the log are in /data/ecam/57640 directory ---- Observing Plan ---- Altitude fiducials if we can ventilate Optical collimation and pointing model if we can open Thu 8 SEP 2016 57640.0 0.43 01:53 11:35 18:04 03:47 ---- APOGEE-2 until 06:00 ( 4.1 h), then eBOSS ( 5.6 h) ---- Observing Log ---- Afternoon: ========== All systems alive and responsive.

Night: ------ Beginning pf the night was very humid. The moth multimeter is also turned on. 04:55Z the humidity improved sharply, We started ventilation. Also we force filled LN2. 5:30Z starting the optical collimation procedure with home/relaxing mirrors. The 3.5m has 1.3" seeing at the moment. We home/relaxed mirrors and mounted eng camera. When we finished,, dew point plummeted down, we hurried to close. 06:12Z ventilation stopped, moth percolator stopped, doors closed. Homed ecamera stage. Took good guider darks and flats (flat is ~39K with 300 sec exposure). Humidity normalized. Started ventilation and moth chopper. Doors open. 07:35:59 encl25m : open; We applied command tcc track/pterr 60, 70 obs /rotty=obj /rota=0 but got no star in the field. Immediately we picked Alpha Peg (2.5 mag) and moved up there (via STUI Slew Menu). The star came very close to the center of the chip. Good focus was find at -175 (gimg-0010.fits) but then humidity jumped up again, and started climbing rapidly. We had to run and close. There was no time to run focus loop. Ventilation stopped, moth multicooker turned off, doors closed. 08:03:59 encl25m : closed; Some timeafter that humidity went down same sharply, but now we have a radar return nearby, mowing towards us. Keep waiting... Also, Jack's seeing on the 3.5m is worse now, something of 1.9". 09:35:59 encl25m : open; Found an fk5 star from the first attempt. Peak ~ 10K, exp. time = 1 sec, FWHM ~ 4.1 pix. ran focus loop. 0 foc=-355 fwhm=3.685000 /data/ecam/57640/gimg-0029.fits 1 foc=-325 fwhm=3.226000 /data/ecam/57640/gimg-0030.fits 2 foc=-295 fwhm=3.264000 /data/ecam/57640/gimg-0031.fits 3 foc=-265 fwhm=3.125000 /data/ecam/57640/gimg-0032.fits 4 foc=-235 fwhm=2.181000 /data/ecam/57640/gimg-0033.fits 5 foc=-205 fwhm=3.488000 /data/ecam/57640/gimg-0034.fits 6 foc=-175 fwhm=2.576000 /data/ecam/57640/gimg-0035.fits set focus -235.0 9:58Z STUI crashed on ex-landru computer 0 foc=-295 fwhm=2.430000 /data/ecam/57640/gimg-0036.fits 1 foc=-275 fwhm=2.284000 /data/ecam/57640/gimg-0037.fits 2 foc=-255 fwhm=2.197000 /data/ecam/57640/gimg-0038.fits 3 foc=-235 fwhm=2.655000 /data/ecam/57640/gimg-0039.fits 4 foc=-215 fwhm=2.216000 /data/ecam/57640/gimg-0040.fits 5 foc=-195 fwhm=2.695000 /data/ecam/57640/gimg-0041.fits 6 foc=-175 fwhm=3.011000 /data/ecam/57640/gimg-0042.fits set focus -255.0 0043 - best focus (-255) 0044: -300 of the best 0045: -200 of the best 0046: +200 of the best 0047: +300 of the best Moving pistons in attempt to make the donuts more equally illuminated 0048 - before adjustment move 0,10,0,0,0 0049 - looks better and more round move 0,20,0,0,0 Oops, here we realized that wrong port is used, 2532 instead of 2531.
