As you can see from the post time, it is almost 6am. Having been up since before 1am, I am sitting in the conference room staring at a looping radar image showing a small cloud which has been sitting over Apache Point Observatory all night. So far all of the calibration files have been taken for the observations, but the dome hasn’t opened. Heavy snow yesterday afternoon combined with fog have kept things shut down.
I was hoping to observe more quasars from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey tonight, but it doesn’t look like that will happen. Oh well, that’s life I guess… Have another half night coming up in March. Hopefully that will be more successful.
