OSU/RC Queue Observing UTC 2012 Feb 12 (civil date 2012 Feb 11/Feb 12 2012) =========================================== Observers: Jill Gerke, Sun Mi Chung Observing Assistant: Steve Allanson Support Astronomer : Olga Kuhn Instrumentation : Instrument: LBC 00:30 -- 25 Bias frames started 01:07 -- Slew to test flat field, y filter. Saturated. 01:12 -- Test flat field, uspec, ,y filters. Saturated. 01:17 -- Test flat field, uspec, y. Saturated. 01:22 -- Test flat field, uspec, y. ~30,000 counts in blue, 15,000 in red. 01:24 -- Set of flat fields, uspec, y. 01:28 -- Set of flats in B and R filters 01:35 -- Slew to pointing star (but do not expose) 01:40 -- Start dofpia. Sky is close to saturation. 01:47 -- Try dofpia again. 01:54 -- In focus, shift-S to stop iterating. 01:55 -- Start pointing star OB 01:59 -- lbcrangebal 02:00 -- Slew to focus OB for OSU_monitor N2403 (do not expose). Then run dofpia again. Dofpia failed... Clouds near horizon. 02:06 -- Start dofpia again. Estimated seeing 2.6, 2.9 arcsec, blue and red respectively. 02:12 -- Slew to OSU_monitor N2403. 02:14 -- Start N2403 OB. Red channel, 1.4". Blue looks elongated. Satellite flew threw red channel. 02:26 -- Start N2403 again. The other OSU monitor objects are still too low anyway, and previous was observed thru twilight. 02:35 -- Slew to M81_focus. Start dofpia 02:39 -- converged. 02:40 -- Slew to M81, start OB. Blue image elongated. Seeing in blue 1.7 arcsec 02:56 -- Slew to I2574_focus. Start dofpia. 03:01 -- Start I2574 OB. Seeing 2 arcsec blue, 1.7 arcsec in red. 03:14 -- Slew to N2903_focus. Focus - dofpia. Seeing ~1.5 arcsec. 03:21 -- Start N2903 OB. Bad seeing ~2.5 arcsec (blue), 2 arcsec (red) 04:04 -- Slew to M82_focus. dofpia 04:10 -- Start M82 OB. Seeing ~1.6 arcsec in blue 04:23 -- Slew to N3077_focus. dofpia 04:29 -- Start N3077 OB Seeing ~1.8 arcsec in blue 04:40 -- Slew to N3344_focus. dofpia 04:47 -- Start N3344 OB Seeing ~2.3" in blue, ~2" in red 05:18 -- Slew to N4236_focus field. dofpia 05:27 -- Start N4236 OB Seeing ~1.6" in blue, 1.4" in red 05:41 -- Slew to N3627_focus field. dofpia. Clouds moving through and getting windier... Had to stop dofpia b/c it didn't find any pupils because of the clouds. 05:50 -- Closed due to high winds and humidity. Unable to open for the remainder of the night.
