Subject: 2.5m obslog 20240703 (SJD 60495) From: doravetz@apo.nmsu.edu Date: Thu, 4 Jul 2024 10:38:21 +0000 (UTC) APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Wednesday July 03, 2024 (SJD 60495) ---- Observing Team ---- Dan Oravetz ---- Observing Plan ---- Wed 03 Jul 2024 60495 dark (7.0 h) plus 1.0 h for 8 deg design ---- Observing Summary ---- The night was lost to clouds and a few drops of rain. There were a couple of times where conditions seemed to be improving, but once a sucker hole would materialize there would be orographic clouds or more clouds encroaching from the west (earlier in the night) or the southeast (later). Notes ===== (1) I completed a home/relax of M1 and a home of M2 while closed for weather and then saved new nominal values for the MIGs. (We've saved new nominals several times recently given all the dead batteries and, although in spec, some of the values have drifted a little more than I was happy with, so this was just an opportunity to exercise the Galils and confidently save new nominals after successful homings.) ---- Observing Log ---- ============================================================================ AFTERNOON CHECKOUT ============================================================================ All systems alive and responsive.
