Details

02:58 begin the LBC flat : r and i sloan

03:36 begin with the telluric star HIP56736_A0V for Piconcelli program , target B2

• seeing 0.7''

• problem with the guide stars, we change it

03:41 executeLUCIscript.sh tellB2_LS_JHeI_BIS.acq luci.20150622.0006-0009

03:50 executeLUCIscript.sh tellB2_LS_210_H.spec luci.20150622.0010-0011

• seeing 0.8''

03:52 acquisition target B2

• executeLUCIscript.sh B2_LS_H.acq luci.20150622.0012-0015

04:05 executeLUCIscript.sh B2_LS_H.acq B2_LS_210_H.spec luci.20150622.0016-0020

• since the presence a bad column (y=500-1018) we have changed the offset.
• seeing 0.7''
• 04:37 seeing 0.5''
• 05:00 seeing 0.7''
• 05:05 airmass 1.52, we take the last image because we are out of specific.

05:13 slew to Mignoli program in parallel mode, MOS 21

• TO configure MODS

05:16 take test images with LUCI as required from the Support Astronomer to solve the bad column luci.20150622.0021-0022

05:28 acquire the target through the repository file mods1r.20150622.0002

05:35 execMODS mods.21.6.obs mods1r.20150622.0003-0006

• seeing 0.8''

05:37 dofpia, /first, /redonly, /X2

05:48 send the ob 5_MOS21_i.ob

• seeing 1.0''
• 06:10 seeing variable 0.9''-1.5''

06:29 dofpia, /redonly, /X2

06:32 send the ob 6_MOS21_r.ob

• seeing 1.4''
• 06:40 seeing 1''

06:48 slew to Israel program, target A4

• acqMODS catsj204734_ls.acq mods1r.20150622.0007-0012

06:17 execMODS catsj204734_ls.obs mods1r.20150622.0013-0016, mods1b.20150622.0002-0005

• seeing 0.9''

08.54 slew to Lardo program, target M71

• acqMODS M71_mos.acq mods1b.20150622.0006-0008

09:07 execMODS M71_mos.obs mods1b.20150622.0009-0011==

• seeing 1.0''

10:15 slew to Piconcelli program

10:31 acquisition telluric star

• executeLUCIscript.sh tellB3bis_LS_JHeI.acq luci.20150622.0030-0032
• seeing 0.6-0.7

10:37 executeLUCIscript.sh tellB3_LS_210_H.spec luci.20150622.0033-0034

10:39 acquisition target B3

• executeLUCIscript.sh B3_LS_H.acq luci.20150622.0035-0038

10:39 executeLUCIscript.sh B3_LS_210_H.spec luci.20150622.0039-0045

10:53 seeing jumps from 0.7'' to 2'', after few minutes it has come back to 0.7

10:55 problem with the offset of the ob, the script was wrong with absolute offset. 0039-0040 no good

• 11:27 seeing 0.7''
• 11:26 seeing 0.8''-0.9''
• the last image (00.45) is taken when there is too much light in the sky

11:45 begin the calibrations flat and arc for Piconcelli B3

• flash detector luci.20150622.0046-0047
• executeLUCIscript.sh B3_LS_210_H.flat luci.20150622.0048-0057
• executeLUCIscript.sh B3_LS_210_H.arc luci.20150622.0058-0061
• arc faint, increase time exposure to 20 sec executeLUCIscript.sh B3_LS_210_H.arc luci.20150622.0063-0066
• luci.20150622.0062 not good

12.00 calibration for Piconcelli B2

• executeLUCIscript.sh B2_LS_210_H.arc luci.20150622.0067-0070
• same configuration B3

12:05 calibration for Israel A4

• execMODS catsj204734_ls_flat.cal mods1r.20150622.0017-0021, mods1b.20150622.0012-0016
