MODS

• arc Xe+Kr Lamps in MODS2 blue mods2.20180324.0001-0002

02:00 Since variable weather conditions and the presence of clouds we start the night with a back-up program.

• say to TO to configure LUCI 1 and LUCI2

02:14 start with telluric HIP31128

• acq luci1.0016-18, luci2.0016-18
• seeing 1" at 02:23
• sci luci1.0019-0022, luci2.0019-0022

02:29 stop for collimating guiding again

02:51 Dome closed for wind

03:20 open the dome

• 03:45 begin the science, Antoniucci's program, target Dr Tau, seeing about 1.3''
• acq luci1.0023-0026, luci2.0023-0026
• sci luci1.0027-0034, luci2.0027-0034

04:10 we slew to MODS1 + LBC red because the seeing is very good, even if there are cirrus

:04:44 Gilli program, mask 31

• acq mods1r.0002-04
• seeing 1" at 5:00 acquisition and allignement done w MODS1
• 05:08 dohybrid failed, try dofpia, \first, \Redonly
• 05:12 start MODS1 science
• sci mods1r.0005,mods1b.0002
• seeing 1" at 5:15 0.2-0.3 extinction on DIMM
• 05:21 dofpia did not converge, clear adsec, try again

05:27 guide lost due the clouds, stop integration and dofpia.

• wind gusts rises the limit of about 22 m/s, dome closed
• the images saved are of 516 sec in blue and 506 sec in red

06:10 strong wind and clouds now, we stay closed

11:00 sky is clear now but wind too strong

11:50 TO opens the dome, the sky is clearer and the wind is decreased.

• the target Caccianiga H is in front of the wind, we can not observe it. The wind is again too near to the limit, we close!!!!
