Observer: A. Fontana, K.Boutsia, R. Speziali
Telescope Operator: D.Gonzales Huerta
Support Astronomer: D. Thompson
Instrument: LUCIFER1

Summary

Roberto S. fixed the shutter of the blue camera. Camera has warmed up during the maintenance in the lab. It has been pumped and cooled.
Good seeing throughout the night (0.7-1.0).
7min lost due to switching on LBC red.

• N1.8 - 200H+K - OrderSep / 300secx1x12offset (seeing 0.8)

04:15 - Mirror acquisition to see if sources are in slit

• sources are offset - we perform MOS acquisition again 0110-0115

07:06 - Arc acquisition script

• Dark Ar 0147
• ARC Ar 0148
• Dark Ne 0149
• ARC Ne 0150

07:15 - Telluric star acquisition script

• Abort - no guide star is found

07:20 - Pointing correction (WT10-385) 0151

07:24 - Telluric star preset (Hipp62402) 0152

• We calculate offsets for centering the star in the slits

07:33 - Telluric SCI script with the Grazian Mask (913423)

• the offset turned out to be wrong 0153-0157

07:40 - Telluric ACQ script - repeat 0158

07:43 - Telluric SCI with Grazian Mask (913423) 0159-162

• We need to perform ARC Mannucci with Grazian Mask for telluric wavelength calibration
• More images with the mask in turnout 0163-0165 and in FPU 0166

08:04 - Slew to Mannucci Q1422 - MOS acquisition 0167-0170

08:27 - Mannucci Q1422 SCI script K_4 (4th hr) 0171-0182

• N1.8 - 210_zJHK- K / 300secx1x12offset (seeing 0.8)

09:43 - Mannucci Q1422 Sci script for H band (1st hr-H_1) 0184-0195

• Through slit image to see if sources are centered 0183

10:55 - Mannucci Q1422 sci script for H_2 0196-0208

• first images are offset by 1.5 arcsec from aquisition positiion 0196-200
• correct offset applicated - mask restarted and aborted after 8th exposure 201-208
• OB considered executed

12:00 - Pointing correction 0209-0210

12:05 - Telluric aquisition in the H band after correcting pointing 0211-0212

12:16 - Telluric SCI script (mannucci_tell_int_Q1422_H.txt) 0213-0220

12:23 - Telluric acquisition in the K band failed- too bright to guide

12:25 - Calibration unit on- Arc acquisition with the Mannucci Mask (933911)

• ARC K filter 0221-0224
• ARC H filter 0225-0228

12:40 - Flat script with the Mannucci Mask (933911)

• Flat H filter - Halo1 OFF 0229 and 0231-0234 and 0237-0242 and 0246
• Flat H filter - Halo1 ON 0230 and 235-236 and 0243-0245
• Flat K filter - Halo2 OFF 0247-0251 and 0256
• Flat K filter - Halo2 ON 0252-0255
• There is a mistake calculating the lamps time because they turn off before the last 'ON' acquisition

12:55 - ARC and FLAT scripts with Mannucci filter set (210_zJHK/K) and Grazian Mask (913423) for the calibration of yesterday's telluric

• ARCS Ne OFF 0257
• ARCS Ne ON 0258
• ARCS Xe OFF 0259
• ARCS Xe ON 0258
• FLAT Halo2 OFF 5sec 0261-0265
• FLAT Halo2 ON 5sec 0266-0270
• FLAT Halo2 OFF 25sec 0271-0273-275
• FLAT Halo2 ON 25sec 0272-0274-0276
• last ON acquisition is done with the Halo2 lamp off - probably the same error in calculating lamp duration

13:37 - DoDarks.txt script - End of night

• 30secx2ndit 0277-0282
• 300secx1ndit 0283-0292
