Night one won't change in any case. Night 1) Setups used: GC1Aoff.hydra GC1A.hydra GC1Boff.hydra GC1Eoff.hydra M30A What to do: a) Set up GC1Eoff.hydra 25min? b) take 5 good dome flats ~20min? (check with CTIO people about exp. time, check first one for good, not overexposed image) c1) Set up GC1Boff.hydra --- (take bias frames at same time) c2) Take 21 bias/zero frames 40min d) take 5 dome flats ~15min e) Set up GC1A.hydra 25min? f) Take 5 dome flats ~15min g) Set up GC1Aoff.hydra 25min h) Take 5 dome flats ~15min i) Take 1 good comparison spectrum (Penray lamps) ~20min? work with CTIO people/us for exposure time try 30sec to start, want non-saturated red end while still seeing the lines at the blue end. -------------All the above should be done before sunset---------- -------------Total time est. 3.5h-------------------------------- j) Go to dinner ----------------------------------------------------------------- -------------At sunset or so------------------------------------- 6:15 pm j) Take 1 comparison spectrum 3min 6:20pm k) Take 2-3 good solar spectrum [work with operator, aim for bright, unsaturated exposures.] ~20min? 6:40pm l) take 1 comparison spectrum 3min ----------------------------------------------------------------- -------------Acquire field--------------------------------------- 7:20pm m) at Twilight-10min (or 7:20pm your time) take 5 exposures of GC1Aoff exposure time: 8min 50min 8:10pm n) take 1 comparison spectrum 3min 8:15pm o) Setup GC1A.hydra ~20min 8:35pm p) reacquire field ~5min? 8:40pm q) take 1 comparison spectrum 3min 8:45pm r) take 5 exposures of GC1A exposure time: 40 min 210min/3.5h **If you are starting this part substantially later (or earlier) than 8:45, talk to Allen and I'll adjust... 12:20am s) take 1 comparison spectrum 3min 12:25am t) setup GC1Boff.hydra ~25min 12:50am u) take 1 comparison spectrum 3min 12:55am v) reacquire field ~5min 1:00am w) take 5 exposures of GC1Boff exposure time: 7min 50min 1:50am x) take 1 comparison spectrum 3min 1:55am y) setup GC1Eoff.hydra ~25min 2:20am z) take 1 comparison spectrum 3min 2:25am aa) reacquire field ~5min 2:30am ab) take 5 exposures of GC1Eoff exposure time: 7min 50min **Don't worry about the field setting; this is ok for the offset exposures. 3:20am ac) take 1 comparison spectrum 3min 3:25am ad) setup M30A.hydra ~25min 3:50am ae) take 1 comparison spectrum 3min 3:55am af) acquire field ~10min 4:05am ag) take 5 exposures of M30A exposure time 25min 135min 6:20am ah) take 1 comparison spectrum 3min --------------------------------------------------- ai) Talk to operator about ordering of: a) 5 dome flats with M30A setup b) 2 solar spectra (with M30A setup) do both in whatever order is best. --------------------------------------------------- aj) take 1 comparison spectrum ak) closedown (whatever is standard) -telescope logs (online, etc...take to operator) --------------------------------------------------- --------Go to bed, you're done with night 1!------- -----I'm not going to detail nights 2 and 3 as much, since you've now got a reasonable idea of what's going on. The general ordering of the nights are: Night 2) Setups used: GC1B.hydra GC1Coff.hydra GC1C.hydra M30B Order of operations: Before dark: Setup GC1C.hydra take dome flats Setup GC1Coff.hydra/take biases take dome flats Setup GC1B.hydra take dome flats take comp (comparison spectrum) At dusk take solars take comp At twilight-10min take 5x35min exposures of GC1B 185min take comp 3min setup GC1C.hydra 30min take comp 3min take 5x35min exposures of GC1C 185min take comp 3min setup GC1Coff.hydra 25min take comp 3min take 5x7min exposures of GC1Coff 45min take comp 3min ---should be 3:20-3:30am now setup M30B.hydra 30min take comp 3min take 5x25min exposures of M30B 135min (again, don't go past 6:20am) take comp 3min After twilight+10min take dome flats & solars take comp Close down. Night 3) Setups used: GC1E.hydra GC1Doff.hydra GC1D.hydra M30C Ordering of night: SAME as night 2, except use GC1E instead of GC1B use GC1D/GC1Doff instead of GC1C/GC1Coff use M30C instead of M30B End of run: I think there may be some summary paperwork to do at the end of the run MAKE SURE YOU GET ALL THE .iraf FILES! (something like GC1A.hydra.iraf.1) If you have any questions, I'll be around at least night 1 to help. Thanks! -Allen
