Details

02:06 The TO opens the dome

02:33 skyflat U, Y (starting sky brightness 12.20 mag/arcsec^2) good

02:41 skyflat r,i (starting sky brightness 14.2 mag/arcsec^2 few counts, x4 few counts) not good

02:50 slewing to Grazian_30A

03:03 dofpia, /first, /X2 (there are problems, no pupils found in the red channel, we try to send correction manually to z4, problem solved pupils)

03:32 dofpia, /X2

03:34 launched Grazian_pointing.ob, lbcrangebal

03:38 launched Grazian_GOODSN_UR_40.ob (clear sky, seeing 1.1); stopped at 4:04 stars elongated in the blue channel
