Details

02:26 start Nascimbeni program, we acquire the target Wasp 52

• acqMODS mods.4.wasp52.acq mods1r.20151001.0002.fits-0004
• 02:40 primary mirror panic

02:50 we start the acquisition again mods1r.0005-0007

• there are problems with the primary mirror.

03:02 collimation LBC: dofpia, /first, /X2

03:15 begin the science

• run the LBC ob: wasp52_f972.ob, LBC should be defocused until the most brightest star among WASP-52 and REF#1 (see chart) has a peak value of about ~30,000 ADU, as required by the PI
• execMODS mods.4.wasp52.obs mods1r.0008-0087, mods1b.0002-0048
• 03:30 found the right defocus, run wasp52_f972.ob
• seeing 1.0''
• 07:17 seeing 0.8''

07:48 slew to standard star G191-B2B

10:34 slew to the targets SDSSJ0510

• execMODS sdssj0510.img mods1r.0121-0123-,mods1b.0067-0069 are saturated
• seeing 0.7''
• decrease the time exposure to 10 sec mods1r.0124-0126,mods1b.0070-0072

• increase to 130 sed mods1r.0139 the target is not visible
• increase to 200 sec mods1r.0140 the target is not visible

00:00 flat field LBC, are not good, problems with the dithering

01:00 bias LBC 25BIAS_BINO

• calibration for the target of Nascimbeni execMODS mods.4.wasp52.cal (arc + flat field) mods1r.0141-0142, mods1b.0080-0081 are not good, problems with the dashboard, it was stucked.
