Details

01:48 starting with LBCs the program of Dotto (some clouds at horizon)

01:52 dofpia, some problem with dofpia we are giving correction by hand

02:15 the sky is clear now, running copointing

02:23 starting science with object ID190166, we launch the script 190166_long.ob

• dimm seeing 0.9"
• some clouds passing through at 2:37
• clouds more dense at 02:45 - 03:00 just half of images are probably useful
• DIMM cannot find bright star

02:55 move to object ID 433939, script 433939_long.ob

• still pasisng cluds , try copointing and dofpia anyway
• 03:05 start science OB, still some cirrus, DIMM still not working
• 3:33 dimm seeing 1", the sky looks better now

03:44 slew to copointing of ID190166

• dofpia

03:53 send science ob 190166_long.ob of ID190166

• dimm seeing 1.1", sky clear
• 4:03 seeing 0.7 on R-band image
• 4:15 dimm seeing 0.9" no clouds

04:29 slew to copointing of ID 433939

• dofpia

4:35 send science ob 433939_long.ob of ID 433939

• seeing 1" at 4:50 on LBC-red r-band image
• LBC-red image 045837 might be not useful, please check. It is an unknown problem.

05:09 we slew to Raimondo, UmaII

• run dofpia on copointing UMaII _f1_UBr_point.ob
• dofpia, lbcrangebal
• 05:19 start OB UMaII _f1_UBr
• 5:30 seeing 1" on LBC-red
• 6:00 seeing 1" on LBC-red
• 6:10 run dofpia on UMaII _f2_UBr.ob
• 6:12 run UMaII _f2_UBr.ob
• 6:30 seeing 1" on LBC-red
• 6:40 seeing 0.7" on LBC-blue

07:02 we slew to Marconi, IZW18

• dofpia
• 07:08 run ob science IZw18_5
• 7:15 seeing 0.8" on LBC-red

07:20 we change to LUCI

07:46 send Guaita_BrGam

• error committing the instrument setup
• solved pushing initialize all_unit
• seeing 0.8" on the guider
• ima luci2.20160130.0007-36
• seeing 0.8" on image at 08:14
• seeing 0.8" on image at 08:30

08:35 send Guaita_H2

• ima luci2.20160130.0037-66
• seeing 0.7" on guider at 08:37
• seeing 0.7" on image, 1.0" on guider at 09:01
• seeing 0.8" on guider at 09:20

09:23 slew to telluric for DeBarros

• acq luci2.20160130.0067-69 acquisition stack during check of the slit. click go failed. reset and reload + skip to item+go worked.
• 09:32 spe luci2.20160130.70-77
• seeing 0.9 on guider at 09:35

09:40 slew to DeBarros M103GLASS2c

• acq luci2.20160130.0078-0081
• spec luci2.20160130.0082-0113
• seeing 1.2" on the guider at 10:00
• seeing 0.8" on the guider at 10:23
• seeing 1.1" at 10:41
• seeing 1.2" at 10:45
• 10:53 clouds coming in, guide star fainting, spectra 0092 affected by clouds, 0092 not good
• we pause the script at 10:57
• 11:14 we start the script, clous passed seeing 0.9" on the guider
• 11:38 seeing 0.9"
• 11:58 seeing 0.8"
• some clouds coming in at 12:26, guide star still ok
• 12:35 seeing 0.7", but passing cirrus, guide star ok
• 13:00 guide star fainting, the clouds cover all the sky, 0111 not good, stop script
• 13:10 starting again integration guide star good, seeing 0.7"
• 13:23 end of the night

13:33 running Bias with LBCs

• bias LBC-red 135956 with same problem that the one at LBC-red science image 045837 at ~4:35. It is a read-out problem.

13:43 running MODs calibration

• slitflats.cal mods1b.20160130.0001-0006, mods1r.20160130.0001-0004 slit 0.6?? too tired
• slitflats_5as. cal mods1b.20160130.0007-00, mods1r.20160130.0001-0004 5arcsec slit dual grating
