APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Monday February 2, 2009 (MJD 54865) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Viktor Malanushenko Elena Malanushenko Steph Snedden (afternoon) ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- 2 Feb 2009 54865.0 0.52 SEGUE 10.5 hours ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- It was clear night with half Moon and variable seeing. Telescope has worked properly. To Connie: There were two segue evening plates 3189 cart 6 and 3210 cart 7 with previous good signal. We observed them last night at good weather conditions but did not get any valuable signal based on APO reduction. It might be similar problem to our segue Moon observations in the past. We need the recommendation about these plates but can keep them plugged until that. I expect they are done. Finished two segue plates 3223 (cart 3) and 3213 (cart 9). Unplug cart 3 but keep cart 9 to get extra signal during Segue time. One more Segue plate needs to be finished before Marvels run (plate 3214, cart 5). ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: --------- Spectro focus was left at the setting from last night (about 1C air temp). The imager biases the last few days have looked fine, with no bias variations (although I admit I did not see every frame that scrolled by, but I did see most). No problems noted during afternoon checkout, aside from the alt axis needing a forced fiducial correction. Cartridge 6 mounted. No data removed from sdsshost2/sdssfiles1 23:50Z - Started building ventilation Night: ----- 00:35Z enclosure is off Cart 6 plate 3198.

Tunight observations had s/n<2 for r1 and b1, so did not count toward total s/n. The result of this plate observations is on hold until Connie's decision. --------------------------------------------------- MJD b1 r1 b2 r2 Texp Sum --------------------------------------------------- 54853 8.7 3.0 10.2 7.7 1800.0 29.6 54853 8.2 2.6 10.1 7.2 1800.0 28.1 54857 2.2 1.4 2.8 2.8 1801.0 9.2 54857 3.8 2.1 5.4 5.0 1501.0 16.3 54860 7.6 4.2 9.0 7.7 1800.0 28.5 54861 4.5 1.8 6.1 5.4 1800.0 17.8 54862 2.8 1.6 3.7 4.8 1800.0 12.9 54863 0.6 0.2 3.8 1.6 1800.0 6.2 54865 1.2 0.6 2.4 2.6 1800.0 6.8 54865 0.6 0.6 2.0 2.1 1800.0 5.3 --------------------------------------------------- Total: 40.2 18.1 55.5 46.9 17702.0 --> 160.7 Total when ALL b,r values > 2.0: 28.3 11.9 34.7 27.6 6901.0 --> 102.5 (limit=156.5) --------------------------------------------------- Cart 7 Plate 3210. 02:50 gotoFiels User FK5 to find the guider stars. guider frame 1296 03:00Z preCalibs It is clear, prhotometric, partial Moon, 03:07Z doNextScience 1800 03:40Z doNextScience 1800 --------------------------------------------------- 54859 0.8 1.1 1.2 1.3 1800.0 4.4 54861 4.0 3.9 5.6 3.8 1800.0 17.3 54861 3.4 3.4 4.5 4.0 1501.0 15.3 54862 4.2 6.3 5.5 7.6 1800.0 23.6 54862 2.0 3.4 2.5 3.9 1801.0 11.8 54862 2.3 3.8 2.7 4.2 1800.0 13.0 54863 3.2 4.8 4.0 3.9 1800.0 15.9 54863 3.0 4.6 3.9 3.9 1800.0 15.4 54863 2.9 3.8 3.7 4.2 1801.0 14.6 54865 0.8 1.6 1.1 1.3 1800.0 4.8 --------------------------------------------------- Total: 26.6 36.7 34.7 38.1 17703.0 --> 136.1 Total when ALL b,r values > 2.0: 25.0 34.0 32.4 35.5 14103.0 --> 126.9 (limit=156.5) --------------------------------------------------- This plate was close to Moon.
