INAF LBC+LUCIFER queue observing, 2010 February18-19

Observer: V. Testa, K.Boutsia, F. Pedichini
Telescope Operator: D.Gonzales Huerta
Support Astronomer: D. Thompson
Instrument: LBC

Summary

1.5 hours lost of DX collimation
30 min lost to shutter
AO tests made in the morning, loop closes but must be calibrated
DX mirror collimates well but then goes very soon out of focus, or there is some offset
Seeing bad in the beginning then good (0.8-1.1) throughout the night

Data Summary

Project	Objects	Filter	ExpTime	Notes
Piotto	M 67	B, i	3h	Some images clearly out of spec, redone
Fiore	Cosmos	Uspec	1h
Mereghetti	LDRT	U, i	0.5h	DX mirror into limits but images good anyway
