Subject: 2.5m obslog 20170830 (SJD 57996) From: viktorm@apo.nmsu.edu Date: Thu, 31 Aug 2017 11:58:49 +0000 (UTC) APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Wednesday August 30, 2017 (SJD 57996) ---- Observing Team ---- Audrey Oravetz Viktor Malanushenko Kaike Pan Juan Trujillo (shadowing) ---- Observing Plan ---- Instrument block and optical collimation ---- Observing Summary ---- Clear sky all the night. We did: -- Clean Alt,Az and Rot axis surfaces. -- Updated Instrument Block of the eng cam. -- Copleted the Optical Collimation. -- we tried to make 20-point pointing model. We have request for tomorrow to collect new fiducial table. ---- Observing Log ---- Afternoon: ========== Checked in with JohnD. Notes for tonight: Keep an eye out for the fills for SP1. They are acting strangely. He quickly homed M2 and physically checked the position of the axials, but did not find anything obviously wrong that would cause us to have such large negative focus values the previous night. Took a bias and short dark to exercise the BOSS cameras. R1 still is showing all zeros in the cals. Nothing has changed, unfortunately. APOGEE evening cals were taken and checked. y values from 1025 - 1220 all blank in flats and arcs. I assume this is the fiber binder that got eaten over the summer. Sad. Checked out the telescope. Moved in all 3 axes. Needed to force a large altitude fiducial. Rotator fiducials are not reading at all from 0 to 30 degrees. 23:30Z - Started ventilating. Clear skies. Discovered that there was no power to the guider camera. Traced the power chord back and unplugged it and plugged it back in. It powered on. Needed to restart the gcameraICC through stageManager to successfully get us talking again. Reset the temp to -35C. tcc set inst=spectro. I did not take a guider dark or flat because the system still wanted to talk with the ecamera, even though it wasn't connected. It doesn't matter since we will start with the ecamera. Took an initial set of mirror numbers before John took at look at M2. Homed and relaxed M1/M2. Homed axials A,B,C multiple times for M2, but was able to get the positional errors down to 43,-83, and 257. New set of mirror numbers in the log. Filled spectrographs. Night: ====== 02:32Z - Cleaned the altitude and azimuth drives. Connected and homed the engineering camera. Opened enclosure.
