Subject: 2.5m obslog 20211224 (SJD 59573) From: kpan@apo.nmsu.edu Date: Sat, 25 Dec 2021 12:33:53 +0000 (UTC) APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Friday December 24, 2021 (SJD 59573) ---- Observing Team ---- Kaike Pan Viktor Malanushenko on Zoom: ---- Observing Plan ---- Same plan as last night. Please continue taking robot dither sequences. If you can, take one or two sequences with FVC --no-apply measurements on each dither position. For the remaining sequences, please do a normal FVC loop on the undithered configuration at the beginning of the sequences and a --no-apply on the same undithered configuration after the last reverse. ---- Observing Summary ---- When we close, we ran a test to check whether outcomes of "jaeger configuration execute" + "jaeger fvc loop" depends on rotator and altitude positions. The results shows they do not. We also confirm that "jaeger configuration reserve" does send positioners back to their previous positions and the outcomes do not depend on rotator and altitude axis positions. Positioners' positions on FVC images do depends on rotator and altitude positions. The position of a no-motion robot on FVC image shifts when one of these two axis move. apogeeBPR critical alert: 07:55:48 .alerts 0 alerts e alert=apogeebpr.BPROutletTemp.stale,critical,"at 2021-12-25 07:55:43; no change for 21602 sec, with 18.3",enabled,noack,-1 It recovered itself after two hours. ---- Observing Log ---- Afternoon: ---------- All actors are alive. BOSS and apogee cals are taken, and checked. They are good. All systems work as expected. High humidity, high wind, nearby radar. No evening ventilation.
