INAF queue observing, 2017 Nov 26-27

Observer: F. Cusano, A. Gargiulo
Telescope Operator: S. Allanson
Support Astronomer: D. Thompson
Instrument: LUCI

Summary

At the sunset the sky is clear.
LUCI1 has still problems so we can not use it, the ad-sec dx is ok and we can use also for AO.

03:21 slewing to Field 2 of Nisini

• problem in aligning the mask, the lms file does not match luci2.20171127.0109-111
• we try to resolve the problem, but we did not succeded, D. Thompson suggest to change object
• error in the Nisini program is not easily solvable, we move to Antoniucci targets
• we will update the log soon

05:00 slewing to LUCI2 AO for DGTau of Antoniucci

• seeing 0.6" on guider at 5:05
• science luci2.20171127.0156-213
• dimm 0.9" at 7:05

07:10 the AO corrections do not appear as good as expected. We stop the run. Doug, Enrico and Guido check the possible reasons.

07:19 we continue with the observations

• dimm 0.9" at 7:23

07:45 AO loop stops. The AO-SAO works to fix the problem.

07:58 slewing to the PSF star.

08:03 slewing to another PSF star: the previous was too faint.

08:17 acquisition start. To close the loop takes long time.

08:26 slewing to target jDz11 of Vanzella

• binning 3x3, NCPA OFF
• dimm 1.0" at 8:49
• observations in pause: opened loop at 8:51
• 8:53 start with the observations

09:19 no flexure corrections due to a problem with a software. We stop the observations. The SAO and the TO check the impact on the images and it results to not be a big issue.

09:32 start the observation again.

• dimm 1.0" at 9:33

09:50 seeing limited observations of Vanzella

10:02 slewing to MODS

10:24 slewing to Field_I of Grazian
