Details

03:15 begin with Della Ceca program, target D.

• acquire the telluric star executeLUCIScript.sh Target_11D_tell.acq luci.20150429.0002-0004
• executeLUCIScript.sh Target_11D_tell.spec luci.20150429.0005-0006

03:23 acquisition of science

• executeLUCIScripts.sh Target_11D.acq luci.20150429.0007-0011
• executeLUCIScripts.sh Target_11D.spec luci.20150429.0012-0016
• seeing 1.25
• 04:12 seeing 0.9-1.1
• 04:40 many cirrus in the sky, image 0016 is not good
• 04:45 we abort the acquisition, the spectrum is too faint

4:50 TO closes the dome for possible rain.

05:45 TO opens the dome again, we slew to the target E of Della Ceca program. the target D is out of spec.

• executeLUCIScript.sh Target_11E.acq luci.20150429.0017-0020
• executeLUCIScript.sh Target_11E.spec luci.20150429.0021-0032
• at the beginning of the observation seeing 1.1, during the observation seeing variable between 1 and 1.5

08:23 slew to standard star

• executeLUCIScript.sh Target_11E_tell.acq
• problem with the guiding, TO refocused
• 08:34 executeLUCIScript.sh Target_11E_tell.acq already problems , TO tries to solve them
• 08:41 executeLUCIScript.sh Target_11E_tell.acq luci.20150429.0033-0034
• 08:45 executeLUCIScript.sh Target_11E_tell.spec luci.20150429.0035 have stopped, the source now is not in the slit, we have to do the acquisitions one more time without guide stars, seeing is 2.7

08:50 we run the acquisition manually because we had some problems with the guide stars

• acquisition Target_11E_tell.acq luci.20150429.0036-0046
• acquisition Target_11E_tell.spec luci.20150429.0047-0048

09.06 slew to the Rossi Program Target E *executeLUCIScript.sh GRB070521_ls.acq luci.20150429.0049-0054

• seeing 1.8
• executeLUCIScript.sh GRB070521_ls_HK.spec luci.20150429.0055-0070
• seeing 2.0
• 10:00 seeing very variable 1.5-1.8

11:14 we slew to standard

• executeLUCIScript.sh GRB070521telluric_ls.acq luci.20150429.0071-0073
• seeing 2-2.5
• executeLUCIScript.sh GRB070521telluric_ls_HK.spec luci.20150429.0074-0075
