Subject: 2.5m obslog 20240408 (SJD 60409) From: kpan@apo.nmsu.edu Date: Tue, 9 Apr 2024 11:23:33 +0000 (UTC) APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Monday April 08, 2024 (SJD 60409) ---- Observing Team ---- Kaike Pan ---- Observing Plan ---- Mon 08 Apr 2024 60409 0.00 02:23 02:38 11:30 08:46 17:40 --- dark ( 8.9 h) plus 1.0 h 8 deg twilight for bright designs ---- Observing Summary ---- Because we recently experienced another random self-reboot on sdss5-obs1, I swapped obs1 with obs2, and installed the newest version Boson, 0.4.3, on obs2. It was dusty and cloudy. The Dust level improved to ~ 2 K at 7:10Z, and there was a soccer hole, I opened to test obs2, 3 minutes after started the 1st exposure, dust spiked to >5 K, and clouds rolled in. Since I was not able to collect useful data, we stopped the guider, close FFS, run configuration reverse before the exposure finished. The post APOGEE dome flats were skipped due to no useful data was collected. APOGEE dither clearing procedure and BOSS Spectro Monthly Checkout task were completed. ---- Observing Log ---- Afternoon: ========= Because we experienced another random reboot on sdss5-obs1. I swapped obs1 and obs2. Now obs2 is at the observer station. BOSS collimation was checked, no adjustment made. 23:48:35 Hartmann collimate output sp1: offset: r= -329 (In Focus); b= -3.2 (In Focus) sp1: pred. move: spAverageMove= 349 sp1: pred. resid: r= -678, b= -2.1, txt= OK, spTemp = 5.0 motorPosition sp1: -929, -947, -961; ---------- Median spectrographs temperatures: Tsp1= 5.0 Outside air temperature= 7.2; FVC dark, GFA biases and darks were taken, checked,confirmed good. APOGEE evening data were taken, checked, confirmed good. Robots are excised, worked well. High dust (at 5.3K), thick clouds, no evening ventilation. Night: ===== 02:00Z: still high dust. Fill 10L dewar so no fill is needed if there is a chance to open later. We will not be able to open for a while, so decide to run APOGEE dither clearing procedure. Dither A was at 0.86, reset it to 0.55. Related APOGEE exposures are 48470010-24. I also completed BOSS Spectro Monthly Checkout Procedure. Biases: 367045 - 69. Darks: 367070-73.
