Details

08:16 Humidity drops down.

• The TO opens, to cool down the dome.

08:43 acqMODS mods.macsj0717_mos.acq

08:50 Slit and sky image have the 1st quadrant with not signal mods1r.0001-0002. Redo the acquisition

08:52 acqMODS mods.macsj0717_mos.acq

• again mods1r.0003-0004 not valid 1st quadrant

09:01 acqMODS mods.macsj0717_mos.acq

• again mods1r.0005-0006 not valid 1st quadrant

09:09 Switch to LBC

09:30 Run 2013B_6_A_copoint.ob

09:42 Communication problem: no images for dofpia

09:43 Run dofpia again

09:49 Communication problem: no images in /newdata available for dofpia

• We call the SA
• dofpia,/backout
• exit
• Bug in the new version of dofpia? The SA re-installed the previous version

10:03 Turn on the camera and connect it to LBT

10:04 Run 2013B_6_A_copoint.ob

• The OB images are in /newdata
• try dofpia now

10:07 dofpia,/first,/X2

• dofpia runs but doesn't converge, defocus to large
• TO clears adaptive optics
• dofpia,/first,/X2,/blueonly
• Blue doesn't converge. Z11+=1000 by hand

10:22 dofpia,/first,/X2,/blueonly

• Huge Mirror temperature gradient and bad seeing are the reasons why the blue does not converge.
• Humidity is raising again. A storm is coming

10:33 TO is closing the dome
