APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Wednesday June 17, 2026 (SJD 61209) ---- Observing Team ---- Conner Scoresby ---- Observing Plan ---- Wed 17 Jun 2026 61209 0.14 03:17 03:35 10:32 14:18 21:16 --- dark ( 6.9 h) plus 1.3 h for 8 deg design ---- Observing Summary ---- We were closed due to the r1 camera on vacuum again tonight. The first half of the night would have been unobservable anyway due to very high dust levels in the area. Notes: 1. Completed a set of 30x100 read APOGEE darks. 2. Vacuum pump is reporting ~1.1e-6 torr at the end of the night. ---- Observing Log ---- Afternoon disk space check: /dev/sdb1 2.0T 510G 1.6T 25% /home /dev/sdd1 22T 14T 6.9T 68% /data 00:01Z Tested actors, all systems live. Telescope is not operational and BOSS r1 camera is offline. Much of the usual afternoon checkout procedure is not possible tonight.
