Details

3:55 The TO opens the dome

4:07 sending copointing of Baglio

• 4:11 dohybrid, did not converge; 4:21 run again dohybrid
• stop again dohybrid can not find pupils in the blue channel, 4:28 we run dofpia, X2
• 4:33 blue not converging we try to change field we move to standard field SA92
• 4:35 the TO and Olga decide to reset LBC
• 4:48 dohybrid

5:12 observing standard SA92 (filter: Sgr - Viz) * seeing 0.8"

5:22 slew to Baglio field (2 minute exp)

• stars elongated, 5:31 we run dofpia again
• 5:35 Baglio field again, stars look good now, seeing 0.6"

6 28 UGC12613_2.ob

• dimm seeing 0.8"
• seeing 0.7" on images at 6:35

6:53 UGC12613_3.ob

• stars elongated in the blue channel, seeing 1.1" out of spec, almost reached the limit in airmass, we change target

7:01 slewing to Annibali R2 (UGC1249)

• UGC1249_point.ob
• dofpia
• lbcrangebal

7:13 executing UGC1249_1.ob

11:41 slewing to Castellano Run A,

• dofpia
• 11:45 the humidity is climbing, now at 87%

11:50 Castellano_MACSJ0717_UV_17.ob

• seeing 0.8" at 11:59
• 12:03 humidity stable at 89%
• seeing 0.7" at 12:07
• 12:08 the telescope stop tracking, we have to send the ob again

12:11 executing again Castellano_MACSJ0717_UV_17.ob after telescope problem

• stop the ob, the humidity is 92% and rising
