INAF queue observing, 2013 Sep 24-25
Observer: E. Sani, F. Cusano
Telescope Operator: D. Gonzales-Huerta
Support Astronomer: D. Thompson
Instrument: LUCI
Summary
MODS1 is currently not available due to problems with the red CCD electronics. The MODS2 head electronics box is being sent to LBTO from Columbus.
At the sunset pho sky with no wind and 41% humidity.
At the beginning of night time operations the seeing is better than 0.5 on the GCS.

Start using LUCI
01:34 LUCI-IMA sky flat in H, K band (some have high counts)
02:08 Slewing to standard star of Cresci_8B (problem, the telescope is not slewing and the mos arm in luci is stuked)
02:22 Slewing to standard star of Cresci_8B
02:40 executeLUCI tellB_mos_210_K1.spec (seeing 0.6")
- error from the instrument setup: tilting the grating it does not stabilize
- the guide star is too close to the patrol field edge. We change it and re acquire
03.03 executeLUCI tellB_mos.acq
03.12 executeLUCI tellB_mos_210_K1.spec
- the tilting stabilization at 2.17 mum is now working
- we acquired in open loop, and when moving from one slit to another the star falls out of the second slit. We change the guiding star.
03.27 executeLUCI tellB_mos.acq
03.33 executeLUCI tellB_mos_210_K1.spec
- it was not a problem of open loop acquisition. the script offsets are wrong and moving to the second slit we are off of it. We move to the scientific field to do not loose more time, in the meanwhile we recalculate the offsets.

- the average seeing on the GCS is 0.55
- at the end of this integration the average seeing on the GCS is variable, but always lower than 1.0
05.25 executeLUCI campoB_mos_210_K_2.spec
luci.20130925.0117-0120
- stopped at 0120.fits relative offset wrong, we fixed the problem and execute again
05:53 executeLUCI campoB_mos_210_K_2.spec
luci.20130925.0121
- stopped at 0121.fits relative offset again wrong, we fixed the problem and execute again
06:02 executeLUCI campoB_mos_210_K_2.spec

- offset now ok, average seeing 0.5"
