• seeing is still variable, 1.3''-2.0''
• 03:50 some clouds are coming

04:00 the seeing is too bad, Avg FWHM 1.8'', we switch to LUCI2 for a backup program

04:41 begin the acquisition of the target Set2_1ControlJ110024.57+320218.7 of the the set2 of the Beltran's program

• luci2.20160505.0001-0026 (wrong number of Nexp during the manually offset)
• mean seeing 1.8
• some cirrus are present
• the wind is increasing

05:10 the to closes the dome, the wind is too strong. wind rear 22m/s

* bias mods mods1r.0011-0020,mods1b.0003-0013

* ./doBias

08:00 the TO opens the dome. The wind has decreased, wind rear is 16m/s, the sky is clear

* we begin with the Beltran's program, acquire the telluric star

• GO S875-C_H2.img.xml luci2.20160505.0027-0031
• seeing variable 1.2''-1.6''
• are present again the obscuration at the bottom of the field

08:47 slew to scientific target A5 luci2.20160505.0037-0066

• GO A5_H2.img.xml
• seeing 0.9''-1.0''
• 09:00 problem with the guider due to the wind gusts. bad seeing =1.3''
• 09:05 the seeing is variable between 1.0 and 1.5'' *09:46 the seeing is more stable about 1.0'' * 10:15 seeing 0.9''

10:25 due to initial variable seeing we take other images for this target in H2 luci2.20160505.0067-0076

• seeing 0.9''
• 10:44 seeing 0.8''
• 10:52 seeing 0.9''-1.0''

• seeing 0.9''-1.0''

11:36 we take again data for the standard in H2 target with better seeing

• seeing 1.0''
• acquisition during the sunset
