2011-06-29 (UT) ========== Program: CL6 (YSO Imaging, PI: Millan-Gabet et al.) Observers: Rafael, PJ (S1S2E1E2W1W2: 5-5-1-1-2-5) CLIMB on beam 1,2,3 Start with: B1 B2 B3 ---------- S1 W2 E1 (W2=REF) *** S1W2E1, W2=ref. main goal: try MWC275 with this configuration. humidity 30-50% r0 = 5cm LT - 20:30 NIRO ALIGN on delta Sco = HD143275 go for MWC275 = HD163296 lost lots of time finding first fringes cal HD163955 repeated NIRO ALIGN found brighter reference star HD160915 repeated NIRO align let's call it a first cal 750Hz NONDEST LONGSCAN 22:00 cal HD160915 +2700um/+5400um counts ~ 80 vis ~ 22:15 trg mwc275 finding no fringes ... try closer calibrator ... 22:30 cal HD163955 +2800um/+5500um just realized i had left the 1/2 apertures in from bright star at the start ... CRAP!! 1000Hz NONDEST LONGSCAN 22:40 cal HD163955 +2800um/+5500um counts ~ 80 vis ~ 0.5 22:46 trg mwc275 move REF still not finding fringes ... note: there is a bit of saturation on one pixel ... i wonder if this affects the fringe tracking making harder for these small fringes ... 23:15 out of delay. switch to: S2W1E2 (521) W1 = REF 23:30 HD160915 NIRO ALIGN 1000Hz NONDEST MEDSCAN 23:50 cal HD163955 +3600um/+570um counts ~ 70 vis ~ 0.5 xx:xx trg mwc275 not finding fringes ... found the cross-fringe +3770um/+400um occasional small saturation causes problems w. servo ... recorded 3T data with only the cross-fringe (S2E2) @ 2000Hz. recorded 2T data with only the cross-fringe (S2E2) @ 1000Hz. 01:30 cal HD163955 +3400um/-41um counts ~ 50 this is too hard ... maybe try again tomorrow, do something else now ... go for v1295 Aql = HD190073 NIRO ALIGN on cal HD188385 750Hz NONDEST MEDSCAN 01:40 cal HD188385 not finding fringes ... weird go to some brighter star for a scan search ... still no fringes ... check carts: OK. redo NIRO ALIGN. go to yet another check star for fringes: HD187691. 03:00 cal HD188385 +4950um/+650um counts ~ 40 03:15 trg v1295aql no fringes ... tried 500Hz for more signal ... nothing. back to 750Hz and look more ... cannot find fringes on any of the 3 baselines ... 03:50 cal HD190498 +4600um/+255um counts ~ 40 04:00 out of delay. DONE. --- Summary: S1W2E1: no fringes on mwc275. S2W1E2: only S2E2 fringe on mwc275. no fringes on v1295aql. ---
