                        AXIS Observing Report
                        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Dates:		2002 March 23,24,25
Instrument:	ALFOSC on NOT
Observer:	Pete Wheatley

Night 1:

Weather:       1st half of night lost due to high cloud. Gradual
               improvement after 1am but high sky background due to moon
               illumination of cloud. Clear from around 3am.
Seeing:        Rapid variability through clouds. Generally between
               1.2 and 1.8arcsec.
CCD Windowing: Didn't use windowing because of support astronomer's
               worry about gradient in bias frames.
Rotator:       Rotator set to -90 (north to top, east to left) for all
               except XBSJ1228 where rotated to field -19.65 to put
               fainter candidate also on slit.
Cal. frames:   Biases in evening and morning. He and Ne arcs and halogen
               flats after each field. Skyflats with all setups at dawn.

Mkn_3_007_A   11.0  #7   1.8" 600s   Stellar spectrum
B2_1028_024_A 13.7  #4   1.8" 1800s  High sky bgd. Source just detected?
                                     Must be fainter than 13.7.
                                     Image (lc230033) shows it to be extended.
XBSJ1228            #4   1.8" 1200s  Tried one of the brighter BSS sources.
                                     Image (e.g. lc230034) reveals 2nd faint
                                     candidate very close to A.
                                     Used rotator to put both on slit, lc230034
                                     Bright source: Late type stellar spectrum.
                                     Faint source: Can't extract spectrum, but
                                     can see spectral features in the image.
MS1229_003_A  19.5  #4   1.8" 1800s  At least one **broad emission line**.
                                     2nd nearby line may be poorly subtracted
                                     sky line. Possible other broad features
                                     toward the blue.
HD17555_027_A 18.7  #4   1.8" 1800s  Image (lc230050) shows extended.
                                     Clouds again during spectrum exposure.
                                     Several possible narrow lines, but most
                                     associated with sky lines. However the
                                     line at pixel 1020 is clearly present
                                     also in the raw image. Also probably the
                                     line at pixel 1000.
src12               #4   1.3" 2400s  Ultrasoft source.
                                     Image (lc230056) shows extended.
                                     A nearby source looks v different to DSS
                                     image (fainter?, or extreme colour?).
                                     Spectrum is low s/n. Possible broad
                                     emission line at pixel 570?
WR110_024_A         #4   1.8" ???s   Had trouble finding target because finding
                                     chart was strangely orientated. Tried a
                                     1800s exposure, but twilight bgd
                                     increasing rapidly. Tried to reduce
                                     exposure using addtime, but this resulted
                                     in immediate readout. Exposure must be
                                     ~800s. Spectrum shows active M star.

Night 2:

Conditions:   Beautiful at sunset. Then immediately into clouds and high
              humidity all night. Tried to open three times, but had to shut
              immediately due to humidity. Ice formed on telescope,
              so couldn't open when humidity dropped for last hour of night.
Observations: None.

Night 3:
Conditions:   High humidity until around 2315, then dropped rapidly. Closed
              briefly again for humidity at about 0110.

Seeing:       1.2-1.6arcsec
Rotator:      field -90
Windowing:    using 200 wide window in x starting at pix 800. No binning.
