COMMENTS
2006/11/1: thin cloud was illuminated by moon, sky was very bright, No good dark was taken after 11 tries. / night time = 26940(sec)

2006/11/2: use D1740-60, no good DARK for 300sec. / night time = 26700(sec)

2006/11/3: camera off for maintenance / night time = 26460(sec)

2006/11/4: Sockets for chip 2 and 7, O-rings, moolecular shieves are exchanged. Spare of telescope controller is tested. / night time = 26220(sec)

2006/11/5: Camera leak check and cool down. Image check. Spare controller test. Dome maintenance / night time = 25980(sec)

2006/11/6: Pressure test OK. Cooling, too slow. Chip1, socket bad contact / night time = 25740(sec)

2006/11/7: Camera warm-up. Swap the socket of chip1. Swap cryocooler. Signal check OK, Vacuum OK. Cooling OK. / night time = 25500(sec)

2006/11/8: Image check / night time = 25260(sec)

2006/11/9: maintainance finished. telescope analysis, RA, DEC, ROT offset adjustment, mirror washing / night time = 25020(sec)

2006/11/10: chi2 has noise. no good darks. / night time = 24780(sec)

2006/11/11: Flats(F1255 to F1264 are for gain, F1265 to F1301 are taken every 10 degree of rotator angle) / night time = 24540(sec)

2006/11/12: D1780(60sec) is OK. D1782(300sec) is slightly noisy on chip2 in "c". / night time = 24300(sec)

2006/11/13: / night time = 24000(sec)

2006/11/14: D1810(60sec), D1811(300sec) are OK. / night time = 23760(sec)

2006/11/15: D1813(60sec), D1814(300sec) are OK. / night time = 23580(sec)

2006/11/16: I adjusted (removed and inserted) the video board for chip2, because chip2 was noisy. After that chip2 had no strange noise, but bias level became low (about 150ADU). So I adjusted bias level (test118.lod, old is test115.lod). D1814(0sec) is OK. I take flats(F1303-1312) to estimate CCD gain. / night time = 23340(sec)

2006/11/17: D1845(15sec) is OK. F1314-1340 was taken every 10 deg of rotator angle. / night time = 23100(sec)

2006/11/18: D1847(300sec) is OK. / night time = 22860(sec)

2006/11/19: D1850(60sec), D1851(300sec) are OK. Galactic Bulge observation finished for this season. / night time = 22680(sec)

2006/11/20: Magellanic Bridge was observed by V & I filters. D1853(300sec), D1855(0sec) & D1856(10sec) are OK. / night time = 22380(sec)

2006/11/21: Pumping 17:30 to 21:00. D1861(300sec) is noisy on chip1, 2, but negligible. / night time = 22140(sec)

2006/11/22: Dark D1865(300sec), D1866(25sec) are OK. We took I-filter FLAT images. / night time = 21960(sec)

2006/11/23: No observation / night time = 21720(sec)

2006/11/24: Dark D1870(300sec) is OK. / night time = 21540(sec)

2006/11/25: No observation / night time = 21300(sec)

2006/11/26: Dark D1875(300sec) is OK. / night time = 21120(sec)

2006/11/27: I took the set of V-filter flat images(12sec). Dark D1881(12sec), D1882(300sec) are good. / night time = 20940(sec)

2006/11/28: No observation / night time = 20700(sec)

2006/11/29: No observation / night time = 20520(sec)

2006/11/30: No observation / night time = 20340(sec)

TOTAL NIGHT TIME: 705420(sec)
