Subject: 2.5m obslog 20250530 (SJD 60826) From: cscoresby@apo.nmsu.edu Date: Sat, 31 May 2025 11:41:52 +0000 (UTC) APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Friday May 30, 2025 (SJD 60826) ---- Observing Team ---- Conner Scoresby ---- Observing Plan ---- Fri 30 May 2025 60826 0.22 03:07 03:25 10:35 12:58 20:09 --- dark ( 7.2 h) plus 1.2 h for 8 deg design ---- Observing Summary ---- Night lost to operational issues, though there were only ~2h of where the weather would have been clear enough to open. Lots of humidity and clouds. MCP communicates with STUI, able to take lamp calibrations tonight. ---- Observing Log ---- Tested actors, all systems except for mcp live. No mirror numbers taken. Started APOGEE evening calibrations. 10:26:17 BOSS expNum=385935, expTime= 0.0s 10:27:44 BOSS expNum=385936, expTime= 20.0s Lamps turn on and off via MCP GUI: According to MCP GUI, lamps are on, however: 10:30:06 BOSS expNum=385937, expTime= 4.0s 10:30:46 BOSS expNum=385938, expTime= 4.0s 10:31:18 Hartmann collimate output Hartmann failed sp1: offset: r= ?

Trying again... Same error Clicked "Sem Give" and now shows "None" on the semaphore. A visual inspection of the enclosure shows the lamps are on. Trying another hartmann, but it still fails. I could hear the shutter in the spectrograph moving. A comparison of hartmann images taken tonight with others show that they are normal, and do show spectral lines, but for some reason the procedure thinks there are no lamps on. While at the enclosure, the podium MPC GUI shows the semaphore is owned by "mcpop", and cannot take the semaphore. 11:03:30 BOSS expNum=385943, expTime= 4.0s Arc image shows up as expected. FF lamps turned on, flat image shows up as expected. 11:07:07 BOSS expNum=385944, expTime= 25.0s SOS says it cannot reduce the flat because that FF lamps are not turned on, even though they are. My guess is that there is some metadata that isn't being transmitted. Gave semaphore from podium laptop (now says "None"), took it again at obs2 (11:06:56 < took semaphore, mcpop:mcpop:59876 ok) Just realized I haven't tried a 'hub startNubs mcp' command. Did it now. STUI now sees MCP, pings return. Lamps turn on via STUI. Trying another hartmann... success! 11:26:14 BOSS expNum=385945, expTime= 4.0s 11:26:53 BOSS expNum=385946, expTime= 4.0s 11:27:35 sp1.motor.move= 345, 347, 349 11:27:35 Hartmann collimate output sp1: offset: r= -659 (In Focus); b= -4.2 (Out of focus) sp1: pred. move: spAverageMove= 345 sp1: pred. resid: r= -1004, b= -3.1, txt= OK, spTemp = 9.9 11:28:16 BOSS expNum=385947, expTime= 4.0s 11:30:13 BOSS expNum=385948, expTime= 25.0s Finished APOGEE evening calibrations: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ mjd i UT File/Exp Imtype Nread A/B Dth Design-Cfg Arch Offset %Flux/FPI Comm ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 60826 1 01:23 52640001 Dark 3 B 13.5 ---------- a-b-c -
