1:02 slewing to program of Clementini

• copointing Pegasus
• dofpia at 1:12
• copointing 1:30

1:39 executing Pegasus_16.ob

1:44 Pisces_16.ob

• seeing 0.9-1" measured on image

1:48 Pegaus_17.ob, Pisces_17.ob, Pegasus_18.ob, Pisces_18.ob, Pegasus_19.ob, Pisces_19.ob, Pegasus_20.ob, Pisces_20.ob

2:29 swith to LUCI2

2:52 slew to Iovino telluric

• seeing 1"
• acquisition =luci2.20151201.0002-004
• spectra luci2.20151201.0005-0012

3:14 slew to the science field of Iovino, HK_spec +zJ filter

• acquisition luci2.20151201.0013-0017
• spectra luci2.20151201.0018-0029
• some thin cirrus coming in at 4:00 maybe some spectra are not good, we keep going
• at 4:20 the guider looks good the cirrus are passing
• paused at 4:48 at spectra luci2.20151201.0025 too many cirrus
• started again at 4:52, the guide star looks stable now (4:37)
• seeing 1"

5:07 executing again the script Iovino HK_zJ

• spectra luci2.20151201.0030-41
• seeing 0.7"

6:15 executing again the script Iovino HK_zJ

• spectra luci2.20151201.0042-53
• seeing 0.9"

7:25 slew to Guaita H2 luci2.20151201.0054-113

• seeing 0.9"
• seeing 0.7" at 7:41
• seeing 0.8" at 8:05
• seeing 0.7" at 8:30
• seeing 0.7" 9:00

9:06 slew to Guaita Br gamma luci2.20151201.0114-0143

• seeing 0.9"
• seeing 1" at the end of exposure

9:56 slew to Gilli Telluric

• acquisition =luci2.20151201.0144-0149 =
• changed the guide star
• problem with the scheduler
• spectra ==luci2.20151201.0150-0152 (150, satured the other are fine)

10:36 slew to Gilli science, id3605

• acquisition luci2.20151201.153-157
• spectra luci2.20151201.158-169
• seeing 1.3" at 11:13
• seeing 1" at 11:33

12:33 lost preset, doing the acquisition again

• luci2.20151201.170 not good scheduler stuck
• acquisition luci2.20151201.171-174
• spectra luci2.20151201.175 problem with the GUI, end of the night

13:19 calibration Iovino

• luci file luci2.20151201.176-194 not good
• flat Halo1 luci2.20151201.195-200 we decreased the exposure time to 3 luci2.20151201.-205 too high counts
• flat Halo3 luci2.20151201.201-212 too low counts
• flat Halo2 luci2.20151201.213-218 counts ok use this!
• arc lamp Xenon luci2.20151201.221, Argon luci2.20151201.223, Neon luci2.20151201.225

14:15 calibration Gilli

• flat Halo2 luci2.20151201.229-234
• arc lamp luci2.20151201.237, luci2.20151201.241, luci2.20151201.244
