Subject: 2.5m obslog 20190901 (SJD 58728) From: viktorm@apo.nmsu.edu Date: Mon, 2 Sep 2019 10:48:29 +0000 (UTC) APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Sunday September 01, 2019 (SJD 58728) ---- Observing Team ---- Audrey Oravetz Viktor Malanushenko Kaike Pan ---- Observing Summary ---- We can not open enclosure and telescope still on generator power. Notes: ====== The site was on generator power since ~2pm. The spectrographs pumps in the back were on constant watch. The pressure at 10:46Z sp1: 1.9E-6 sp2: 1.4E-7 ---- Observing Log ---- Afternoon: ========== 20:05Z - I was awakened in the dorm to hear the generator kick on. I babysat the pumps on the spectrograph cameras all afternoon. John instructed me to open the valve when utility power comes back. The tcc was found non-responsive, so I restarted the new test version per Conor's instructions. Moved the telescope to 70 and homed and relaxed the mirrors. New mirror numbers were taken. Test slewed the telescope for all three axes. Connection was re-established to the engineering camera. I homed the stage to repeat the optical collimation setup while I was down at the telescope. I tried to take cals, but the gcameraICC was not talking with the camera. I powered down the camera and reseated all the connections, tried again, to no avail. Sent a message to John and Kaike. I contacted Jeff to help troubleshoot the MCP STUI bug. We seemed to resolve the timing between the stop/brake commands. Stop brings the telescope slowly to a hault, then engages the brakes. If a brake is issued, it is slightly harder stop, but not an abrupt one. Jeff would like to get into touch with Conor first before testing the resolution of the FF petal missing keyword. 01:15Z - Started ventilating, though we should not open whilst still on generator power. We contacted the electrical company to ask about the status of things. They are currently looking into it, and we saw a truck pull up to the site and look at the power lines from the ground. The good news is that they are looking into the problem. 01:54Z - The MCP was not connected, most likely stemming from the remote work from Jeff. I got it reconnected. Found the ecamera problem was an issue with permissions, using observer@sdss-hub instead of sdss4@sdss-hub to start the ecameraICC.
