Details

1:50 starting bino bias 25

• NOTE we later found that LBCred fits files have date in filename: 20170114 (wrong month!),
  Also, they are in the repository 20170114

2:40 evening skyflats g, r for Annibali

• NOTE we later found that LBCred fits files have date in filename: 20170114 (wrong month!),
  Also, they are in the repository 20170114

3:28 slewing to copoiting of Annibali R34; target UGC8320

• 3:31 dohybrid, error no file found in new data
• 3:35 dohybrid

3:30 start collimating dohybrid

• 3:40 LBC red images with wrong month in filename. cannot proceed with dohybrid
• 3:55 corrected date, running dohybrid

4:03 copointing Annibali

4:07 start Annibali R34, script UGC8320_1

• 4:12 DIMM seeing 0.9, 1.0 on r image
• 4:26 stars elongated in the blue channel we stop the ob at 6th exposure
• 4:28 dofpia, collimation again
• 4:30 send the script UGC8320_1 again
• seeing 0.7" at 4:38

4:59 dofpia

5:04 started Annibali UGC8320_2

• seeing 0.8" dimm
• seeing 0.9" on images at 5:24

5:32 ob finished moon rise, we switch to LUCI

5:57 slewing to Rossi ESM program, GRB130803A

• aborted the script, AO preset still not running

6:01 started again Rossi program, GRB130803A

• 6:04 error during comitting setup, problem with the actuator
• 6:14 send the script again
• 6:19 failed acquisition again, Doug Miller is checking

6:38 we try to put the mask in FPU, because in turn-out it warms up LUCI, but we had a problem to commit the setup, the mask is in unknow state

7:25 mask problem solved

7:25 slew to Fiorentino LUCI AO program, Palomar 10 seeing 0.6 !!

• luci2.20170614.0052-0193

8:17 Pal 10 seeing limited, Fiorentino

• luci2.0194-0199 not good

8:47 starting again Fiorentio Palomar 10

• the Arcetri group and Doug Miller applied a correction for astigmatism after checking the images
• luci2.0210-0351
• seeing 0.8" on the guider a 9:03

9:31 seeing limited Pal 10

• luci2.0352-0361

9:44 checking the alignment of the N30 camera

• 5min lost due to gui frozen

9:51 slewing to Antoniucci AO, LKHa233

• 5min lost due to OT script naming problem (AO ref cannot be same as target)
• luci2.0363-0384 pause to correct offsets (images are good)
• seeing 0.4 on guider at 10:38 !

• seeing 0.5 on guider at 11:08

11:20 slewing to PSF standard of Antoniucci

• luci2.0435-0436 stop loop not closing at 11:32 too high background
