APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Thursday April 24, 2003 (MJD 52754) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Swing: Pete Newman Night: Dan Long, Mike Harvanek, Howard Brewington ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- Photometric with good seeing all night. We imaged all night: imaging data for 27 N from lambda = -18 to +40 imaging data for 15 S from lambda = +19 to +62 and beyond. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Swing shift notes ----------------- THe HgCd lamp above counterweight 2 continues to turn on about 20sec slower than the others. The monitor display for chip 64 in astrometric dewar 1 during the afternoon doghouse bias looked noiser than I remember, and I could not find the notes that I know exist somewhere on "normal" CCD conditions. If someone knows where they are, please put them in QA folklore. Night ----- Clear with wind from the west at sunset so we begin with imaging. Run 3893 27 N: Focus, seeing and skippy all good from frame 28 (lambda = -23) but we were still in twilight. Twilight officially ended around frame 58 (lambda = -18) but some data before this may be good. Everything was good until frame 450 (lambda = +40.7) when the seeing went bad. We waited for the seeing to improve but moved on when it didn't. Run 3894 15 S: Focus, seeing and skippy all good from the beginning (lambda = +19). Official moonrise occurred around frame 243 (lambda = +54). However, the sky values showed no appreciable increase so we continued with this strip. From official moonrise to the end of the strip (frame 300, lambda = +62), g sky counts rose about 28 counts. We continued this drift past the end of the survey area for this strip because we did not have time to do anything else, not even one of the short scans listed in the special imaging programs. Hopefully, someone can make use of this somewhat moony data near the plane (Heidi?). Run 3895: Donuts. Frame 11 in focus. Frame 15 -300. Frame 21 +300. Donut frames are in the standard place. Due to an inadvertent issuing of a goStare command in an iop window at the beginning of the night, endNight had some problems. Dan deleted all traces of the problematic run (3889) and endNight finally ran. We hope that these deletions do not cause problems elsewhere. Since it was photometric and moonless with good seeing, we pushed the dust closure limit a little tonight by remaining open when the dust counts exceeded 3000. However, the humidity was low (below 30%) the entire night and the dust counts never got much above 3400. We tried to feed omaha but could not log in. The message it gave upon attempting login was "No route to host." endNight is still running at this time. ---=== IMAGING RUN SUMMARY ===--- Run Time Stripe Lambda Last Flavor Comments Start End Begin
