Summary

At the sunset the sky is clear. Wind at the limit (17m/s)
Note: We can not observe the Iovino program because the mask was not loaded on the LUCi cabinet also if it was requested.

Night duration (12\xB0 el twilight) 19:20-6:10 ( 02:20-13:10 UT) = 10 h 50m

Observing time: * 7 h * *30 m (72%)

Weather time loss: 2 h (20%)

technical time loss 0.85 h (8%)

10:02 we do again the telluric of Gilli because the airmass changed a lot

• some clouds coming in
• checking pointing
• acquisition luci2.20160125.0189-0191
• the sky is 80% covered by clouds at 10:08

• spectra luci2.20160125.0209-
• seeing 1" at 11:00, some clouds
• at 11:06 the cloud cover also part of the science field, guise star has fainted of 0.5 mag, some scattered light from the moon the collimation is not good
• at 11:15 we lost the guide star

12:40 still cloudy, move to calibrations

13:00 calibration Gilli and Antoniucci zJspec

• flat Halo2 luci2.20160125.215-219, 10sec
• arc lamps see pdf file. sequences of lamp in, and 2 without lamp
• arc lamp Argon luci2.20160125.220-222, Neon luci2.20160125.223-225, Xenon luci2.20160125.226-228, 10sec

13:20 calibration Antoniucci HKspec

• luci2.20160125.229-235 too bright or too faint do not use! with HK Halo2 gives too many counts, switch to Halo3
