2:21 slewing to science of Testa J1935+1726 (Run A)

• 2:24 some problem with collimation the TO is giving manual corrections, the problem due to guide star that was double, problem solved at 2:30

• 3:12 dimm seeing 1 fwhm on guider 0.8
• 3:46 Humidity rising rapidly now at 91.5%

3:55 authorizing both mods for transit

3:59 the Humidity reached the limit now is 95.3%, the TO closes the dome

9:50 slew to LBQS03 (science)

• 9:51 problem with the guided star (not found)
• 9:53 problem with the guided star again (not found)

9:58 we swich to MODS1 to observe Moretti program

10:10 slew to PSO5886022 (science)

• seeing 0.8" on guider
• acq mods1r.20181019.0001-0003
• redgrating mods1r.20181019.0004-0007
• finish the first OB e start another exposure
