Details

0:40 starting LUCI skyflats in Ks

• flat not good because the guider was inside the patrol field; persistence we try to flush the detector executing darks

1:32 slewing to telluric Ricci B1, FRicci_1617_20_B1_LUCI1_tell.xml

• spectra luci1.20161108.0034-0035
• seeing 1" on guider at 1:39

1:44 slewing to target Ricci B1, FRicci_1617_20_B1_LUCI1.xml

• spectra luci1.20161108.0040-0057
• seeing 1.1" at start
• ~02:15-02:25 seeing ~1.5-2
• seeing 1.2" at 2:27
• 02:30 send OB2
• seeing 1" at 2:33
• seeing 1.2" at 3:00
• 03:05 send OB3
• loss 5 min due to problem with grating G210 central wavelength.
  Super hero Andrea saved the situation moving to mirror and back to G210 1.15 again
• seeing 1.2" at 3:13
• seeing 1.2" at 3:20 seeing 1.5"
• seeing 1.2-2.0" at 3:30
• Even if seeing >1.2" sometimes, we consider Ricci B1 completed given that in September other exposures where taken. <br\> We can clearly see the emission lines in raw files

03:46 Slew to Antoniucci_6 V2492_Cyg

• Start telluric
• luci1.20161108.0061-0064
• 04:00 start longslit for Antoniucci_6 V2492_Cyg
• seeing 1.2" at 04:16
• spectra luci1.20161108.0069-0072 problem with offsets or acquisition, not good!
• 04:44 Start script again
• seeing 1.5" at 04:45
• spectra luci1.20161108.0077-0080 zJ spectra These are good !
• seeing 1.4" at 04:51
• spectra luci1.20161108.0081-0084 HK spectra These are good !
• seeing 1.6" at 05:10
• 05:16 loss 5min problem with mask. guiding star for imaging is wrong

05:23 Slew to Piconcelli A

• loss 15min problem with GUI it is not sending the preset to telescope

5:40 we can not solve the problem with LUCI we switch to LBC.
In the mean time Dave is working to solve the problem, in case we still need LUCI

6:03 slewing to copointing of Garofalo, TP_A_point.ob (starting with bad seeing program)

• dofpia, /X2
• seeing 1.1" on align images

06:16 science of Garogalo, executing sequence TP_A_6.ob, TP_B_6.ob, TP_C_6.ob, TP_D_6.ob, TP_E_6.ob, FIELD_6.ob

• seeing 1.5" on images at 6:20
• seeing 1.2" on images at 6:24
• seeing 1.1" on images at 6:30
• 6:37 seeing is stable below 1.2" we move to the higher priority program of Annibali

06:38 slew to Annibali R3

• dofpia
• 6:43 executing UGC1281_3.ob
• seeing 1.1" at 6:50
• seeing 1" at 6:54
• added 2 exposures more + calibration OB

07:18 slew to Annibali R4

• dofpia
• 07:25 start OB1
• seeing 1.1" at 07:35
• seeing 1.1" at 7:51
• 07:55 start OB2
• seeing 1.3" at 8:02
• dofpia
• seeing 1.6" at 8:10
• 8:14 OB2 stop. Only half executed, better to repeat

08:16 DIMM seeing 2.2 Back to Garofalo, sequence 7

• preset problem loss 15min
• 08:32 dofpia
• 08:38 start sequence 7: TP_A_7.ob, TP_B_7.ob, TP_C_7.ob, TP_D_7.ob, TP_E_7.ob, FIELD_7.ob
• seeing 2.5" at 08:40
• DIMM seeing 3 at 08:50
• seeing 2" at 08:58 on image

09:02 Garofalo, sequence 8: TP_A_8.ob, TP_B_8.ob, TP_C_8.ob, TP_D_8.ob, TP_E_8.ob, FIELD_8.ob
