Subject: 2.5m obslog 20181208 (SJD 58461) From: bernie@apo.nmsu.edu Date: Sun, 9 Dec 2018 11:38:05 +0000 (UTC) APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Saturday December 08, 2018 (SJD 58461) ---- Observing Team ---- Dan Oravetz Paul Harding Bernie Walp ---- Observing Plan ---- Sat 8 DEC 2018 58461.0 eBOSS (11.5 h) ---- Observing Summary ---- Closed for humidity, precipitation and fog. eBOSS lost 11.5 hours to weather. For Paul Harding we collected half-second guider flats inside the enclosure with the telescope at 30° altitude, with two different cartridges, at varying guider focus positions; set a new focus. ---- Observing Log ---- ============================================================================ AFTERNOON CHECKOUT ============================================================================ Restarted alertsActor because it was misreporting that the MCP was unavailable. All systems alive and correctly responsive now that alertsActor is behaving. Adjusted b1 residual +1 deg just so that it would be at an acceptable tolerance if we were to open at sunset -- the weather looks better than expected and with the humidity we probably won't get to ventilate much if we do have the chance to open at sunset. In that case, Tsp1 might not drop sufficiently for the b1 residual to move within spec by itself. See Collimation section for current numbers. Ventilation delayed due to high humidity. ============================================================================ NIGHT ============================================================================ We checked the guider flexure using the images taken last night at different rotator angles: Exposure Rotator -------- ------- 0003 0 0004 90 0005 180 0006 270 0007 315 The X,Y centers for each of those images is: X Y Exposure # ========================== 429.60 535.03 0003 429.88 536.16 0004 428.84 536.81 0005 429.56 535.60 0006 429.53 534.81 0007 0456Z Guider focusing flats with Cartridge 10 (Plate 11293): /data/gcam/58461/gimg-0003.fits.gz to /data/gcam/58461/gimg-0036.fits.gz 0642Z Guider focusing flats with Cartridge 6 (Plate 10850): /data/gcam/58461/gimg-0037.fits.gz to /data/gcam/58461/gimg-0041.fits.gz gimg-0003 - reference flat taken before moving the tangent arm; unclamped. The tangent-arm dial read 0.030". We determined that moving in steps of 0.020" according to the tangent-arm dial is a good step size for checking/adjusting guider focus. Steps of 0.050" are sufficient for coarse moves if one is significantly unsure of where focus should be. We found the best focus to be when the tangent-arm dial would be at 0.150" (i.e., between the settings for gimg-0031 and 0032). We convolved gimg-0031 (the in-focus image) with a gaussian with sigma=1 pixel and found that the resulting image looked similar to gimg-0003 (the starting image); i.e., the focus was off such that sigma=1 pixel gaussian smoothing of an in-focus image produced an image that looked like the starting image. The focus offset (0.150" - 0.030") results in a change of much less than 0.1 arcsec when added in quadrature with seeing -- so we weren't that bad to begin with. With cart. 6 mounted we found the best focus to be ~0.100" on the tangent-arm dial, which is only 0.04" different from the best-focus setting on cart. 10. We set the tangent-arm dial to 0.125" (between the setting for 6 and 10). SP1 temperature was 7.7°C. ---- BOSS Spectrographs Collimation Summary ---- Afternoon spectro focus: 20:59:30 boss exposure arc, expNum=278540, expTime=4.0 21:00:42 boss exposure arc, expNum=278541, expTime=4.0 21:02:07 sp1.motor.move= 11, 3, 11 21:02:07 Hartmann analysis for cartridge 10: sp1 offset: r = -1649 steps (Out of focus); b = -5.2 deg (Out of focus) sp2 offset: r = 631 steps (In Focus); b = 2.0 deg (In Focus) sp1 pred. move: spAverageMove = 11 steps sp2 pred. move: spAverageMove = 0 steps sp1 pred. residual: r = -1660 steps, b = -5.2 deg, spTemp = 8.3 C sp2 pred. residual: r = 630 steps, b = 2.0 deg, spTemp = 6.5 C 22:40:49 boss exposure arc, expNum=278546, expTime=4.0 22:42:04 boss exposure arc, expNum=278547, expTime=4.0 22:43:29 sp1.motor.move= -308, -310, -309 22:43:29 Hartmann analysis for cartridge 10: sp1 offset: r = -1649 steps (Out of focus); b = -3.2 deg (In Focus) sp2 offset: r = 631 steps (In Focus); b = 2.0 deg (In Focus) sp1 pred. move: spAverageMove = -310 steps sp2 pred. move: spAverageMove = 0 steps sp1 pred. residual: r = -1338 steps, b = -4.2 deg, spTemp = 8.6 C sp2 pred. residual: r = 630 steps, b = 2.0 deg, spTemp = 6.7 C ---- Mirror Numbers ---- PRIMARY: -------- Scale: 1.000000 MIGS TONIGHT NOMINAL Axial A: -5.314 -5.314 Axial B: -5.076 -5.069 Axial C: -5.341 -5.333 Trans D: 10.736 10.738 Lateral E: 9.0805 9.0805 Lateral F: 14.224 14.2113 GALILS Commanded: 10250 -1100 7100 16850 12400 12400 Actual: 10250 -1100 7100 16850 12400 12400 SETMIR VALUES PrimDesOrient: 0.0 3.27 2.1 115.0 -178.65 PrimOrient: -1.06 3.29 2.19 115.07 -177.78 SECONDARY: ---------- Focus: 0.0000 Air temp: 0.3 Altitude: 30.0 MIGS TONIGHT NOMINAL Axial A: -0.704 -0.704 Axial B: -0.701 -0.703 Axial C: -0.089 -0.096 Trans D: -0.112 -0.15 GALILS Commanded: 870850 878550 841850 -5750 -7500 Actual: 834070 854977 794454 -5750 -7500 SETMIR VALUES SecDesOrient: 657.0 18.54 2.85 -17.2 138.98 SecOrient: 656.94 18.53 2.81 -16.9 139.24 ---- Telescope Status ---- Ventilation never started. encl25m never opened.
