01:32 TO open the dome

02:00 slew to Israel A1

• acqMODS catsj021950_ls.acq mods1r.20150213.0002-0003
• seeing 1.4"
• the target is not visible, we get another image with exposure time =120 s mods1r.20150213.0004. also in this case is not visible
• we get an image with t_exp=160 s mods1r.20150213.0005-0006 now it is ok
• slit + target mods1r.20150213.0007

02:32 execMODS catsj021950_ls.obs mods1r.0008-0010, mods1b.0002-0004

• seeing 1.2", airmass 1.22
• 02:58 seeing 1.0"
• during the exposition of the second image some cirrus have been passed.
• last exposure with poor seeing and half at airmass higher than 1.5 (at the end of the exposure is 1.59)

04:00 we slew to the standard acqMODS Hiltner600.acq mods1r.0011-0012

• airmass 1.17
• execMods Hiltner600.obs dual grating mods1r.0013-0015, mods1b.0005-0007
• red grating mods1r.0016-0018
• seeing 1.8"

05:15 slew to Saracco B program

• acqMODS mods.7.RDCSm1.acq
• seeing about 1.4"
• 05:29 we stop the acquisition because the seeing is 3"
• 05:30 seeing 1.3", we continue the acquisition mods1r.0019-0022
• 05:33 seeing 1"

05:37 execMODS mods.7.RDCSm1_8.obs

• 05:40 seeing 4", we stop

06:08 we try acquisition again, seeing between 1.5" and 3" * acqMODS mods.7.RDCSm1.acq mods1r.0023-0026

06:24 execMODS mods.7.RDCSm1_8.obs mods1r.0027-0030

• seeing variable between 1.1" and 1.5"
• during the acquisition the seeing has reached values of 2.3" but also of 0.9" *07:31 seeing is decreasin, now varies between 1.1" and 1.5"

07:36 execMODS mods.7.RDCSm1_9.obs mods1r.0031-0034

• seeing 1.2"
• 08:02 seeing stable about 1.2"

09:58 slew to Mignoli program MOS20

• acqMODS mods.20..acq mods1r.0039-0041
• seeing 1.2"

10:09 dofpia, /first, /X2, /redonly

10:14 execMODS mods.20.1.obs mods1r.0042-45

• run 1_MOS20_z.ob. lbcr.20150213.103113.fits is not good, done during the offset of mods.
• seeing 0.9"
• 10:56 get one more image in the z filter.

11:01 dofpia, /X2, /redonly

• seeing 0.8"

11:04 run 2_MOS20_i.ob

• seeing 1"
• 11.13 seeing 0.9"

11:26 execMODS mods.20.2.obs mods1r.0046-49

• seeing 0.9"

11:52 dofpia, /X2, /redonly

11:58 run 3_MOS20_r.ob * seeing 1.0"

12:40 execMODS mods.20.3.obs mods1r.0050-51

• seeing 1.1"

12:4 run 4_MOS20_z.ob

• seeing 1.5"

*13.13 last frame in twilight

13.20 sky flat in i-SLOAN filter. 3 files are with I-Bessel for mistake
