OSU/RC Queue Observing UTC 2011 November 21
(civil date 2011 Nov 20/21)
===========================================

Observers: K.Z. Stanek, R. Stoll (OSU)
Observing Assistant: Steve Allanson
Support Astronomer : Dave Thompson (from home)
Instrumentation    : Tim Shih

Instrument:  MODS

Summary:  

Closed all night due to clouds and high humidity.  All images from tonight 
are calibrations.

Detailed notes:

00:00 
It is cloudy and the humidity is 99%.  Though the clouds immediately overhead
seem to be burning off with sunset, the satellite doesn't look good.

00:18
Running created script Nov21evening.multcal which includes:
modsWake
ngc925flats.cal
ngc925lamps.cal
OSU_PC_provided_prmosflats.cal
OSU_PC_provided_prmoslamps.cal

Realized belatedly I did not change the date in the filename.  Stopped the 
script with ctrl-c during a preliminary IMCSlock.

00:20
Running created script Nov21evening.multcal which includes:
modsWake
ngc925flats.cal
ngc925lamps.cal
OSU_PC_provided_prmosflats.cal
OSU_PC_provided_prmoslamps.cal

Script exited with error on >> nimgs 1.  Error is as follows:
** ERROR: nimgs Cannot change this parameter during image acquisition
   ngc925lamps.cal terminated with errors at line 2 command 'nimgs 1'

I must have left it in a funny state by exiting the previous script.
Clicked 'refresh' on the MODS gui as Rick recommended a few days ago 
to clear instconfig errors, and am executing again.

00:29:
Worked, script is running happily.  The first images will be *.20111121.0002 

01:20:
Script exited with error:
>> slitmask ID543210
** ERROR: slitmask Unknown position ID 'ID543210', must be one of [DarkMask,SieveMask,Imaging,LS5x60x0.3,LS5x60x0.6,LS5x60x0.8,LS5x60x1.0,LS5x60x1.2,LS60x5,Empty,Empty,Empty,ID561656,ID592644,ID583546,ID591308,ID535313,ID561105,Empty,Empty,Empty,Empty,Empty,Empty]
   OSU_PC_provided_prmoslamps.cal terminated with errors at line 8 command 'slitmask ID543210'

We have completed ngc925flats.cal and ngc925lamps.cal, but it appears that the 
provided prmosflats.cal and prmoslamps.cal in the OSU_PC project are just 
the MODS example scripts provided, not scripts customized for this project.  
The scripts we ran on 18 November should be correct for the multi-object 
calibrations.  

01:31:  Running  Nov21evening2.multcal, which includes
prflats.cal
prlamps.cal

(necessary for the standard star observations in the OSU_PC project.)


02:02:  Running Nov21evening3.multcal, which includes:
grmoslampsAZ_J0143.cal
grmosflatsAZ_J0143.cal
grmoslampsAZ_J0143_2.cal
grmosflatsAZ_J0143_2.cal
NGC695_flat.cal
NGC695_lamps.cal

AZ_J0143 did not provide calibration scripts, so any errors in those are mine.
UVa_Cage did, so NGC695* should be all right.  I did check that the mask ID 
had changed in them.

Failed with this error:
>> slitmask  ID535313
** ERROR: slitmask Unknown position ID '', must be one of [DarkMask,SieveMask,Imaging,LS5x60x0.3,LS5x60x0.6,LS5x60x0.8,LS5x60x1.0,LS5x60x1.2,LS60x5,Empty,Empty,Empty,ID561656,ID592644,ID583546,ID591308,ID535313,ID561105,Empty,Empty,Empty,Empty,Empty,Empty]
   grmoslampsAZ_J0143.cal terminated with errors at line 5 command 'slitmask  ID535313'

Apparently an extra space after the 'slitmask' command is not tolerated.

02:07:  Running Nov21evening3.multcal again.  Success this time.

After these, I believe we will have taken all MOS calibrations for masks 
currently inserted.

03:05:  Running Nov21evening4.multcal
ngc925flats.cal  (because of lingering fear something left bad in abort)

11:32
Humidity's still 100% and there's rime on the dome.  We're not opening tonight.
