APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Saturday October 5, 2002 (MJD 52553) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Mike Harvanek (APO) Steph Snedden (APO) Visitors: Scot Kleinman, Atsuko Nitta and friends. MLB: Arizona Diamondbacks 3 St. Louis Cardinals 6 St. Louis wins series 3-0 Atlanta Braves 10 San Francisco Giants 2 Atlanta leads series 2-1 New York Yankees 5 Anaheim Angels 9 Anaheim wins series 3-1 Oakland Athletics 2 Minnesota Twins 11 Series tied 2-2 ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Science! Leftover shake tasks. ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- One plate finished (647) and good data obtained for another two plates (1027, 669). The pauseStare and resumeStare commands were tested. We imaged M31 N and M31 S. There was a problem getting skippy to work on these scans. We attempted to image a portion of 82 N but it was lost to bad seeing and high humidity. JEG donuts. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Both drives on id4 failed during afternoon checkout. We followed the procedure for a two drive failure but only one of the drives came back. We then followed the procedure for a single drive failure but id4-1 still failed to come back. A reboot of the photo crates solved the problem. Light cirrus at sunset so we begin with spectroscopy. Plate 1027 (cartridge 1): Guide stars on the gotoField. Four 15 minute exposures gave good data for this plate but it was not enough to finish it. Plate 647 (cartridge 5): Guide stars on the gotoField. Three exposures totaling 55 minutes were enough to finish this plate. The pauseStare and resumeStare commands were tested on one of these exposures and appeared to work. Plate 669 (cartridge 9): Guide stars on the gotoField. Three 15 minute exposures provided good data but were not enough to finish it before we switched to imaging. The sky cleared and we switched to imaging to try and get some of the M31 data. We couldn't get skippy to work with the special M31 catalog because skippy wanted an integer for the catalog name. After copying the M31 catalog to another file called 331 and trying to run skippy with catalog 331, we ran into a permissions problem on the id-report file. After changing permissions on this file skippy started to run, found stars and then failed because it couldn't find headers. At this point we gave up trying to run skippy. See the Problems section for details of skippy's failure. We imaged both M31 N and M31 S, most of it in very good seeing. We then began imaging a portion of 82 N but the seeing went bad and then we had to close due to high humidity. Donuts for JEG were obtained at the end of this run (see Imaging Details section for specifics). endNight was still running when this log was mailed. ---=== IMAGING RUN SUMMARY ===--- Run Time Stripe Lambda Last Flavor Comments Start End Begin End Frame ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3364 23:35Z 23:50Z 100 O 77.49 81.22 38 ignore 3365 01:01Z 02:14Z 100 O 98.94 117.22 41 ignore 3366 06:51Z 08:17Z 100 O -173.14 -151.75 156 science M31 N 3367 08:20Z 09:46Z 100 O -150.84 -129.39 156 science M31 S 3368 09:52Z 10:22Z 82 N -145.04 -137.57 64 ignore bad seeing; donuts 3369 10:34Z 10:50Z 100 O -117.38 -113.21 42 bias on-telescope bias ---=== IMAGING RUN DETAILS ===--- Run 3366: M31 N. In focus/good seeing by frame 19 (lambda=+178). Couldn't get skippy to run so we are unsure if the pointing errors/rotator alignment are within acceptable limits. However, the stars looked fairly round on the sub-arcsec images so the rotator alignment was probably ok. Good seeing throughout most of the run (~1.2"). Run 3367: M31 S. In focus/good seeing from the beginning of the run. No info regarding skippy as per above. Good seeing for most of the run (~1.0") but the seeing blew up (~1.7") near the end (frame 130). Run 3368: 82 N. Spoiled by bad seeing. Terminated before completion due to high humidity. JEG donuts: In focus = frame 47, +300 = frame 52, -300 = frame 55. The seeing was so bad that these donuts may not be very useful. ---=== SKIPPY RESULTS ===--- Run Frame nFrames stars muErr muRms nuErr nuRms rot az el --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3368 25 4 45 -5.500 0.091 -4.600 0.109 -0.01091 210 53 ---=== LTMATCH RESULTS ===--- Run Field nFields alt az nGood rowMean rowSig colMean colSig rot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 3368 36 1 53 330 18 -1.669 0.237 1.698 0.198 -0.00571 3368 36 1 53 330 17 -1.463 0.230 1.700 0.208 -0.00572 3368 36 1 53 330 20 -1.462 0.235 1.700 0.320 -0.00572 3368 36 1 53 330 9 -1.459 0.278 1.905 0.290 -0.00641 3368 36 1 53 330 13 -1.419 0.210 2.103 0.279 -0.00707 ---=== SPECTROSCOPY DATA SUMMARY ===--- UT Exp Time flavor comment (S/N)^2 totals ========================================== b1 r1 b2 r2 ----- sequence 16469, plate -9999 ------- 23:14 16469 0.0 bias 00:20 16470 0.0 bias ----- sequence 16471, plate 1027 ------- 29.1 17.6 25.2 23.8 NOT DONE 01:47 16471 10.0 flat 01:50 16472 2.0 arc 02:12 16473 900.1 target 02:30 16474 900.1 target 02:48 16475 900.1 target 03:06 16476 900.1 target 03:14 16477 240.0 smear 03:17 16478 10.0 flat 03:20 16479 2.0 arc ----- sequence 16480, plate 647 ------- 26.7 16.6 22.9 19.9 DONE 03:39 16480 10.0 flat 03:41 16481 2.0 arc 04:07 16482 1200.1 target 04:25 16483 900.1 target 04:49 16484 1200.1 target 04:58 16485 240.0 smear ----- sequence 16486, plate 669 ------- 18.5 15.7 17.1 18.0 NOT DONE 05:11 16486 10.0 flat 05:13 16487 2.0 arc 05:37 16488 900.1 target 05:55 16489 900.1 target 06:13 16490 900.1 target 06:21 16491 240.0 smear ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE I ===--- Time Instrument Az Alt Rot Scale pos offset pos offset pos offset ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 01:57Z 1 1027 37.38 0.0031 50.94 -0.0009 210.62 0.0170 0.999820 03:45Z 5 647 38.26 0.0021 39.12 -0.0012 211.81 -0.0040 0.999830 05:29Z 9 669 18.90 0.0045 55.74 0.0009 195.74 0.0105 1.000090 07:11Z imager 243.05 0.0000 80.25 0.0000 -75.22 0.0000 1.000000 08:31Z imager 257.07 0.0000 63.18 0.0000 -50.02 0.0000 1.000000 ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE II ===--- ---=== DATA TAPE SUMMARY ===--- Goes: JL5556-5562 Stays: JL5563-5569 ---=== FOCUS LOG ===--- setmir piston Temp Wind Time Inst scale M1 M2 Foc Az Alt (C) MPH Dir filt fwhm ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 01:56Z 1 1027 0.99982 1776 2449 -200 38 50.9 11.3 8 226 --- 1.4" 02:34Z 1 1027 0.99980 1974 2601 -200 23 54.9 12.2 6 229 --- 1.6" 03:45Z 5 647 0.99983 1678 2334 -275 38 39.1 11.6 6 236 --- 1.4" 05:32Z 9 669 1.00009 -888 103 -325 18 55.9 12.2 6 279 --- 1.5" 07:10Z imager 1.00000 0 -744 -597 245 80.4 12.6 9 278 i'23 1.1" 08:08Z imager 1.00000 0 -704 -567 209 72.3 12.5 5 263 i'23 1.2" 08:32Z imager 1.00000 0 -684 -563 257 63.1 12.4 8 233 i'23 1.0" 08:51Z imager 1.00000 0 -683 -565 248 62.2 12.3 7 222 i'23 0.8" ---=== WEATHER LOG ===--- Wind Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust DIMM Sky 23:07Z 61 32 13 245 (WSW) 348 - clear 23:40Z 59 32 20 231 (SW) 421 - clear 00:12Z 57 31 13 260 (W) 423 - clear 00:44Z 54 30 10 220 (SW) 414 - clear 01:16Z 53 27 11 228 (SW) 407 - light cirrus 01:47Z 51 26 10 212 (SSW) 461 - light cirrus 02:19Z 54 24 9 214 (SW) 348 - cirrus 02:50Z 54 24 9 230 (SW) 346 - cirrus 03:21Z 52 24 9 240 (WSW) 372 - cirrus 03:53Z 53 22 6 246 (WSW) 287 - cirrus 04:26Z 53 21 5 258 (WSW) 276 - light cirrus 04:58Z 54 21 6 268 (W) 224 - light cirrus 05:29Z 54 22 7 290 (WNW) 188 - light cirrus 06:00Z 54 22 12 328 (NNW) 129 - clear 06:30Z 54 23 11 316 (NW) 148 - clear 07:02Z 54 23 7 291 (WNW) 154 - clear 07:34Z 54 23 6 274 (W) 141 - clear 08:07Z 54 23 5 258 (WSW) 188 - clear 08:39Z 54 23 7 223 (SW) 181 - clear 09:11Z 54 23 6 208 (SSW) 212 - clear 09:44Z 50 37 5 173 (S) 401 - clear 10:16Z 48 43 5 127 (SE) 500 - clear 10:48Z 50 39 7 164 (SSE) 500 - clear 11:20Z 48 38 6 176 (S) 495 - clear ---=== TELESCOPE STATUS ===--- 23:20 Doors open, fans on 00:45 Enclosure off 10:25 Enclosure on, doors closed, fans off (high humidity).
