Observers: Gerke, Shappee, Fausnaugh Telescope Operator: David Gonzalez-Huerta Support Astronomer: Michelle Edwards Instrument: LBC Observing Log for 2013 June 5/6 Summary: Projects/Targets Observered: AZ_Super-- finished ND_LLS_imaging_j1619 OSU_Monitor: N3344, M101, N5194, N4449, N4736, N6946 Conditions were clear and stable all night. Seeing was variable, started off > 1", and leveled off to subarcsecond. Some communication glitches with LBC. Details: all times UT 2:35 Opening dome (sunset) Skyflats Camera fitler PA = 0 PA = 180 B Uspec: 5 5 R Yfan 5 5 B r_sloan 5 5 R r_slaon 5 5 03:45 OSU_Monitor/N3344 Focusing and collimating 03:55 Still in twilight. Drastic change in seeing, checking collimation/ refocusing. 3:57 Going to starting science OB 4:16 Seeing is very variable (1"-2.5" according to DIMM) Estimated seeing at 1.7" 4:29 OSU_Monitor/M101 4:30 Error on LBC Blue-- didn't read out. 4:38 Techinical probelms continuing... 4:41 Restarting LBC software 4:50 Istrument back up. Attempting to recollimate/refocus 4:55 Starting science OB for M101 5:05 Seeing ~ 1.1" 5:25 OSU_Monitor/N5194-- slewing, running co-pointing OB, collimating, focusing. 5:35 Starting science OB, seeing ~1.0 6:12 OSU_Monitor/N4449-- slewing, running co-pointing OB, collimating, focusing. 6:17 some sort of communication glitch(?), images late reading out, rerunning dofpia 6:26 dofpia converged, but pupils are still visible. Running science images to see how well it succeeded... 6:36 Science images looked ok. Seeing ~1.3", but variable 06:38 OSU_Monitor/N4736-- slewing, running co-pointing OB, collimating, focusing. 06:50 starting science OB, 06:57 Seeing ~0.99 7:06 AZ_Super-- moved to field, tried to focus/collimate, but LBC is acting weird, maybe more communication glitches? 7:15 Starting Science OB, UNB1 7:44 focusing between science OBs 7:50 UNB2--Tried to co-point, but no obvious stars in the field. Co-pointing has been good so far, moving to science image 7:52 Starting science OB 8:00 Seeing ~0.82" 8:21 EGS_gi_1-- starting science OB 8:30 focusing/collimating 8:40 EGS_gi_2-- starting science OB 8:42 Seeing ~0.74" Noticing some strange elongations in red and blue 8:49 EGS_ry_1-- starting science OB 8:55 Stopping after 2 exposures-- clearing optics and refocusing 9:02 EGS_ry_1-- 4 more exposures in each camera. 9:08 EGS_ry_2-- starting science OB 9:15 Seeing ~0.76" 9:18 NB_LLS_imaging_J1619-- slewing, focusing, collimating 9:25 starting science OB 9:32 Focus on science field is very good. Seeing ~0.90" 9:45 OSU_monitor/N6946-- slewing, focusing, collimating 09:53 Starting science OB, seeing ~1.0 10:28 Blue looked out of focus, refocused. 10:33 past twilight-- taking more exposures in the absense of other targets 11:08 Last science image read out Skyflats Camera fitler PA = 0 PA = 180 B g 5 5 R i 5 5 B B 5 5 R R 5 5
