Subject: [Lens] PU02 Lenses observered at APO tonight
Message-ID: <Pine.GSO.4.30.0510280720420.808-100000@galileo.apo.nmsu.edu>

I started late tonight because of high humidity.

Seeing started out at around 1.2 arc sec but by the 3rd object it had
degraded to about 1.7 arc sec.  (I didn't record Q2237 in the online log
even though it was observed, seeing was poor for that object and it
dropped off my observation list.).

Data has been ftp'ed to Ohio State.  I had some problems scp the data to
Princeton.

scp -r <dirname>
apo@mutomo.astro.princeton.edu:/peyton/scr/mutomo0/Lens/<dirname>

didn't work, connection closed by remote host.

Data has been written to CD here at APO for archive.

Objects observed:

biases
HS2209
Q0142
Q2237 (not recorded in log)

no flats since we could not open during evening twilight.

Subject: [Lens] Lenses observed, files NOT transferred
Message-ID: <20051030110841.D3FBB245F0@galileo.apo.nmsu.edu>

Hi all,

I observed a bunch of lenses tonight under decent conditions.  Seeing
was 0.9" on focus, but tracking problems kept us from delivering on
that for most of the science images.  Most targets were observed near
2 airmasses because of the awkward timing.  I took extra images of
most of the targets while waiting for the next one to rise.

Note that image #37 had a readout problem when it was nearly
finished, so the file is the wrong size.  I couldn't get it to
display in IRAF, but most of the image should be there if you can
persuade your software to read it.  If not, I took extra images.

The first set of biases was noisy, so I took a later set which came
out somewhat better.

I was NOT able to transfer the images to OSU; I could connect and
login with FTP, but not transfer anything.  The error message was
"425 Can't build data connection: Connection timed out."  I can try
again tomorrow night, or Chris/Ed can look for the data on
tycho:/export/images/Q4PU02/UT051030/

				Russet.
