INAF queue observing, 2016 July 3 - 4

Observer: F. Cusano, A. Rossi
Telescope Operator: G. Bechetti
Support Astronomer: O Kuhn on call
Instrument: LBC

Summary

At the sunset the sky is clear.
Still problem with the Dx AdSec we can not use LUCI2.
We use LBCs.

Night duration (12\xB0 el twilight) 20:30-4:00 ( 03:30-11.00 UT) = 7h 30m

Observing time: 6 h 10m (82 %)

Weather time loss: 0 h (0%)

technical time loss 0 h (0%)

note: 1h 20 m for LUCI+AO commisioning
