Subject: 2.5m obslog 20250306 (SJD 60741) From: cscoresby@apo.nmsu.edu Date: Fri, 7 Mar 2025 11:24:03 +0000 (UTC) APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Thursday March 06, 2025 (SJD 60741) ---- Observing Team ---- Conner Scoresby ---- Observing Plan ---- Thu 06 Mar 2025 60741 0.57 01:57 02:12 12:15 06:09 16:14 --- bright until 09:05 ( 7.2 h, w/ 0.3 h for 12 deg design), then dark ( 3.2 h) ---- Observing Summary ---- The afternoon and early night had incredible dust counts, wind speeds, and cloud cover. While some of these abated through the night, they never did so all together, and the poor sky transparency + intermittent heavy clouds didn't justify opening the telescope in light of the calibration lamp issues. We were closed all night. 1. Calibration lamps tested during afternoon hartmann sequences then again hours later; the circuit trips both times. From JohnD: "We left the solid state relay in that cal lamp power supply, and it seems to correlate with more trips than the other one." Indeed, that was seen tonight. When we turned the lamps on for a test arc at the end of the night, the circuit didn't trip (the breaker had been left tripped for a number of hours before resetting). ---- Observing Log ---- 22:58Z Tested actors, all systems live.
