Details

01:40 we begin the skyflats with LBC

02:13 dohybrid

• the mirrors are not perfectly thermalized, the collimations is not very good, after the copointing we will do again the dofpia

02:24 copointing photometric standard star S113

02:31 SA suggest us to do again dohybrid instead dofpia

02:40 run the ob for the phot std S113

• the stars are elongated

03:02 slew to Annibali program, target R43

• dofpia, /X2
• copointing * mean seeing 1.00''

03:20 run NGC6503_1.ob

• mean seeing 1.00''
• 03:37 mean seeing 0.9''

03:45 dofpia

• run NGC6503_2.ob
• 04:04 mean seeing 1.07''
• 04:09 mean seeing 0.97''

04:22 run NGC6503_3.ob

• 04:35 re sent script due to error in the execution. everything frozen on the blue side. problem with rotator
• 04: 36 stop lbc software

04:45 problem with the power line resolved.

• dofpia

04:50 run NGC6503_3.ob

• mean seeing 0.8'', airmass 1.55
• 05:11 mean seeing 1.0'''
• 05:17 seeing 1.3''

05:18 slew to Cusano program, target NW1

• preset
• dofpia
• copointing, seeing 0.7''

05:35 run NW-1_1.xml

• 05:44 run NW-2_1.xml, mean seeing 1.00''
• 05:54 run NW-3_1.xml, mean seeing 1.00''

06:02 dofpia

06:09 run NW-1_2.xml, mean seeing 0.7''

• 06:19 run NW-2_2.xml, seeing 0.8''-0.9''
• 06:28 run NW-3_2.xml seeing 0.8''-0.9''

06:38 dofpia

06:42 run NW-1_3.xml, mean seeing 0.9''

• 06:52* run NW-2_3.xml, mean seeing 0.8''-0.9''
• These images show some halos due to not perfect optical collimations, we do the dohybrid
• 07:09 run NW-3_3.xml, seeing 0.7''-0.8''

07:25 NW-1_4.xml, mean seeing 0.8''

• 07:34 NW-2_4.xml mean seeing 0.8''
• 07:42 NW-3_4.xml mean seeing 0.8''

07:51 dofpia

07:55 NW-1_5.xml

• 07:05 NW-2_5.xml
• 08:13 obs4 (where we are working) is very slow, we change to obs2
• 08:15 NW-3_5.xml, mean seeing 0.8''-0.9''

08:26 dofpia

08:33 NW-1_6.xml, mean seeing 0.7''

• 08:43 NW-2_6.xml, mean seeing 0.7''
• 08:52 NW-3_6.xml, mean seeing 0.65''

09:02 slew to phot standard Galadi, preset failed, the TO have to unwrap

• 09:07 send again the preset
• dofpia
• run the std, seeing about 0.5''-0.6''

09:30 slew to Annibali program, target R4

• preset
• dofpia
• run KK16_calib
• copointing run KK16_point, problems with the copointing, the copointing source is not in the center of the field, the offset is too big.
• we make the copointing with the right coordinates, we send the preset again but it failes
• 10:05 send the preset again, dohybrid
• copointing

10:27 run KK16_3.ob

• 10:40 seeing about 0.75''
• 10:55 KK16_2.ob (just the half)
• seeing about 0.1''

11:10 slew to target R5, KK17

• dofpia
• 11:17 run KK17_1.ob
• 11:28 seeing about 0.9''
• 11:33 seeing about 0.6''-0.7''
• 11:44 run KK17_2.ob
• 11:51 seeing about 0.9''-1.0''
• 11:58 peaks of seeing to 1.3'' (on DIMM)
• 12:02 seeing about 1.00''

12:09 slew to Photometric Standard, SA95
