Subject: 2.5m obslog 20231113 (SJD 60262) From: kpan@apo.nmsu.edu Date: Tue, 14 Nov 2023 13:04:05 +0000 (UTC) APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Monday November 13, 2023 (SJD 60262) ---- Observing Team ---- Kaike Pan Conor Sayres (online: FVC rotator scan tests) Dan Oravetz (phone: for "new" M2 model from tilt/trans M2 test). ---- Observing Plan ---- Mon 13 Nov 2023 60262 0.01 00:58 01:13 12:21 21:41 08:52 --- dark (11.1 h) plus 0.2 h for 12 deg design ---- Observing Summary ---- The entire night was lost to high humidity. In the dome, I obtained 8 sets of FVC rotator scan data. ---- Observing Log ---- Afternoon: ========== BOSS collimation was checked. No adjustment made. sp1: offset: r= -2308 (Out of focus); b= 4.8 (Out of focus) sp1: pred. move: spAverageMove= -1925 sp1: pred. resid: r= -383, b= -1.2, txt= OK, spTemp = 4.8 otorPosition sp1: 27506, 28447, 26484; ---------- Median spectrographs temperatures: Tsp1= 5.1 Outside air temperature= 3.0; APOGEE evening cal data are taken, checked, confirmed good. No bright spot in FVC dark. GFA biases and darks are taken. All actors and system are checked, working fine. 23:30Z: high humidity, no evening ventilation. Night: ====== Clouds and high humidity. Run Conor's rotator scan tests. Test 1: 1) configure robots with random —danger 2) choose alt=60 in the FVC scan script. rotStepSize = 15, nImgRepeat=3. fbi level = 4. Using alt=60 so that the better collimation settings will work 3) load the “old” collimation model and run the script (requires a set inst=fps after switching the default.dats) 4) load the “new” collimation model and run the script (using the same robot arrangement as the previous scan) 5) do steps 1-4 twice (two different configurations). 1:45Z: fill BOSS LN2 dewar. 2:15:07 CmdStarted: OBSERVER.kpan 79 jaeger configuration random --danger 2:20Z: start the rotator scan with the "old" M2 collimation model.
