Subject: 2.5m obslog 20230908 (SJD 60196) From: doravetz@apo.nmsu.edu Date: Sat, 9 Sep 2023 11:07:09 +0000 (UTC) APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Friday September 08, 2023 (SJD 60196) ---- Observing Team ---- Dan Oravetz Kaike Pan (online) Jose Sanchez-Gallego (support) Dmitry Bizyaev (script support) ---- Observing Plan ---- Shakedown tasks ---- Observing Summary ---- Took a couple BOSS biases to test things now that sp1daq is working and they looked OK. With the update to default.dat earlier in the day, completed another home/relax sequence of the mirrors and took mirror numbers for reference. Jose resurrected guiderActor for use with the engCam which allowed us to successfully test the Pointing Data script. Optical Collimation ------------------- Started optical collimation. The conditions were good to start out, but about the time I had moved onto looking at off-axis OOF images the seeing degraded (2.5" fwhm according to site seeing monitor). First impression was that the tilts derived from the on-axis tweaking (x_tilt = -55 arcsec and y_tilt = -63 arcsec) were also acceptable off-axis as well, but it would be good to go back and re-check a couple of those. I jumped ahead to do the conversion from tilt-only to tilt-and-translation to see what it would look like, but unfortunately the resulting orientation (0, 21.47, 50.56, 2762.87, -1173.04) produces a "Commanded orientation violates mount limits" error. Left the telescope ventilating (though with the doors partially cracked) per Kaike's request since he'll be in for fiducial data early this morning. ---- Observing Log ---- ============================================================================ AFTERNOON CHECKOUT ============================================================================ All systems alive and responsive. APOGEE evening cals started. With sp1daq working, I was able to take BOSS biases/darks, too.

Powered-off engCam strip. ---- Mirror Numbers ---- Didn't bother saving new NOMINAL values since we still have to do optical collimation, but at least we have a reference set of mirror numbers given the updated default.dat and following the successful home/relax: PRIMARY: -------- Scale: 1.000000 MIGS TONIGHT NOMINAL Axial A: 0.2890 -0.0010 Axial B: -0.0700 -0.0230 Axial C: -0.0300 -0.0250 Trans D: -0.5740 0.0060 Lateral E: 0.3545 0.3315 Lateral F: 0.5540 0.5345 GALILS Commanded: 8600 -150 7800 34500 10950 10950 Actual: 8600 -150 7800 34500 10950 10950 SETMIR VALUES PrimDesOrient: 0.0 0.0 0.0 72.02 1175.46 PrimOrient: 0.0 0.0 0.0 72.77 1175.46 SECONDARY: ---------- Focus: 0.0000 Air temp: 0.00 Altitude: 30.0 MIGS TONIGHT NOMINAL Axial A: 2.9620 0.0400 Axial B: 2.8470 0.0950 Axial C: 2.9650 -0.0620 Trans D: -0.3420 -0.1060 GALILS Commanded: 831700 842550 811250 -11300 -16200 Actual: 831683 842549 811154 -11300 -16200 SETMIR VALUES SecDesOrient: 657.0 9.62 1.47 18.09 309.04 SecOrient: 657.02 9.6 1.43 17.94 308.9 ---- Telescope Status ---- Status at close: Telescope stowed at: 121.0, 30.0, 0.0 mount Instrument mounted: engCam Counterweights at: 468 468 470 469 LN2 autofill systems: Connected and turned on 180L LN2 dewar scales: SP1 256 lbs, 21 psi Telescope still ventilating. ---- Software Used ---- STUI : 1.7.19 alerts : 2.3.0 boss : 6.0.2-alpha.0 -boss.specMec : 3.0.4 apo : 3.0.1 fliswarm : 0.4.0 jaeger : 1.4.1a0 kaiju : 1.3.1 coordio : 1.7.1 fps_calibrati : 2023.07.27 cherno : 0.6.3 astrometrynet : 0.93 hal : 0.6.0b5 hartmann : 2.0.2 hub : 5.0.1a0 mcp : 2.1 -mcp.plc : 35 -mcp.azFiduci : v1_147 -mcp.altFiduc : v1_147 -mcp.rotFiduc : v1_147 tcc : 1.4.0 apogee : not available apogeecal : not available apogeeql : v1_7_0dev STUIAdditions : 3.1.20 Boson : 0.3.2 sdss-obstools : 3.9.3 TPM : 1.2-31-gd7eb MCP : 2.1-1-ge461 PLC : V35 Fiducials : v1_147 idlspec2d : v6_1_0 Kronos : 1.6.2a roboscheduler : 1.4.0 ---- APOGEE Data Summary ---- APOGEE data list, mjd=60196, all raw_data: /data/apogee/utr_cdr/60196/apRaw-*.fits archive: /data/apogee/archive/60196/apR-[a,b,c]-*.apz quickred: /data/apogee/quickred/60196/apq-*.fits ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ mjd i UT File/Exp Imtype Nread A/B Dth Design-Cfg Arch Offset %Flux/FPI Comm ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 60196 1 01:05 46340001 Dark 3 A 13.0 ---------- a-b-c - - 60196 2 01:19 46340002 Dark 60 A 13.0 ---------- a-b-c - - 60196 3 01:21 46340003 QuarFlat 10 A 13.0 ---------- a-b-c - - 60196 4 01:24 46340004 Arc-Thar 12 B 13.5 ---------- a-b-c 1.04 - 60196 5 01:31 46340005 Arc-Une 40 B 13.5 ---------- a-b-c - - 60196 6 01:33 46340006 Arc-Thar 12 A 13.0 ---------- a-b-c 0.45 - 60196 7 01:40 46340007 Arc-Une 40 A 13.0 ---------- a-b-c - - 60196 8 01:51 46340008 Dark 60 A 13.0 ---------- a-b-c - - 60196 9 01:57 46340009 Arc---- 30 A 13.0 ---------- a-b-c - 85 FPI ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---- BOSS Data Summary ---- Reading FITS from /data/spectro//60196 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - n Time Filename design-field cfg flav shu Exp colA colB colC Hrt - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 1 01:07 b1-00358400 ----------- ---- bia Clo 0.0 24999 25001 24999 2 01:07 r1-00358400 ----------- ---- bia Clo 0.0 24999 25001 24999 3 01:09 r1-00358401 ----------- ---- bia Clo 0.0 24999 25001 24999 4 01:09 b1-00358401 ----------- ---- bia Clo 0.0 24999 25001 24999 5 01:11 b1-00358402 ----------- ---- dar Clo 20.0 24999 25001 24999 6 01:11 r1-00358402 ----------- ---- dar Clo 20.0 24999 25001 24999 ---- Time Tracking ---- *=*=*= Observatory: APO *=*=*= MJD: 60196 Fill night time in Hours below *=*=*= Total bright time : 0.2 *=*=*= Bright time, queued observations : 0 *=*=*= Bright time, commissioning/engineering: 0.2 *=*=*= Bright time lost to weather : 0 *=*=*= Bright time lost to technical issues : 0 *=*=*= Total dark time : 9.1 *=*=*= Dark time, queued observations : 0 *=*=*= Dark time, commissioning/engineering : 9.1 *=*=*= Dark time lost to weather : 0 *=*=*= Dark time lost to technical issues : 0
