Subject: 2.5m obslog 20240625 (SJD 60487) From: kpan@apo.nmsu.edu Date: Wed, 26 Jun 2024 08:50:59 +0000 (UTC) APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Tuesday June 25, 2024 (SJD 60487) ---- Observing Team ---- Kaike Pan ---- Observing Plan ---- Tue 25 Jun 2024 60487 0.78 03:18 03:37 10:35 14:53 21:51 --- dark until 05:34 ( 2.0 h), then bright ( 6.0 h, w/1.0 h for 8 deg design) However, The telescope is not operational tonight. Plan to complete some cloudy night tasks instead. ---- Observing Summary ---- When close, I completed: 1. BOSS monthly checkout. It was done 20 days ago, not due yet. Just in case we don't have a chance to complete the task again before the shutdown starts. 2. Last night, Kronos observing queue didn't update properly after a design is loaded into FPS, the design will be preload repeated until it was removed from the queue manually. Tonight, I preloaded and loaded 10 designs from the Kronos observing queue. It worked as expected. After a design was loaded into FPS, it was removed from the observing queue (with a strike-through-line). 3. Filed a Jira ticket for chiller temperature auto-setting, suggests to set it based on robot air temperature. For example, set it to max ( 1 C, dew point temp + 3 C, ambient temperature - 2 C) when robot air temperature is below 20 C; to max (1 C, dew point temp + 3 C, ambient temperature - 3 C) when air temperature is between 20- 30 C, to max (1 C, dew point temp + 3 C, ambient - 4C) when the robot air temperature > 35 C. 4. Took fvc biases, 10-minute dark exposures, Ten 10-minute flats with enclosure light. Notes: 1. For unknown reason, Kronos scheduled three bright designs for evening twilight time. The 3rd one is scheduled to start right before 15 degree twilight (technically dark time). An email was sent to John Donor. ---- Observing Log ---- Afternoon: ========== Take BOSS bias, dark, APOGEE evening cal. Night: ====== Radar around at the sunset. Take more fvc flats with enclosure light. Before taking flats, get some dark exposures. One fvc 10-min dark: fliswarm talk -n fvc expose --dark 600" fimg-fvc1n-0003 fvc bias: "fliswarm talk -n fvc expose --bias --count 3" fimg-fvc1n-0004-06 Five fvc 10-min darks: "fliswarm talk -n fvc expose --dark --count 5 600" fimg-fvc1n-0009 -- 0013 Five fvc 10-min flat with enclosure lights: "fliswarm talk -n fvc expose --flat --count 5 600", fimg-fvc1n-0014-18. fimg-fvc1n-0019-0023: 10 minute dark exposures (intended to get more flats) fimg-fvc1n-0025-0029: 10 minute flats with enclosure light. The plan is to take more flats at different rotator and AZ positions, we postponed them due to the telescope is not moveable tonight. BOSS monthly checkout biases: file=370604 - 28. 900 sec darks: boss exposure 900.0, file=370629 -- 31.
