00:30 TO opens the dome

• AO check
• collimation

01:22 thare are problems to close the loop

• problem fixed, TO finishes the check

01:51 TO sends the preset to the target LO Peg, Pinna's program

• 01:58 the AO support closes and opens system, there is issue in the comunication in the AO system
• 02:02 TO collimates again

02:07 send the script of LO Peg

• error during the commit
• 02:09 send again the preset luci2.20181108.0025 test image
• fwhm 0.54, estimated magnitude 9.1
• 02:21 error in the script about the subwindow
• 02:24 MOS error
• to fix the MOS mask error the loop has to been opened.

03:15 ready to go again

• TO send again the preset
• ==luci2.0027-0028==test images
• fwhm 0.7"
• put the subwindow
• 03:33 start science luci2.0029-0076
• 03:36 fwhm 0.58", seeing on the WFS camera 0.92", estimated magnitude 9.1 mag
• stars are elongated since imaluci1.0044, after the elongation decreased
• 03:59, seeing on the DIMM 0.92, on the WFC camera 1.3", fwhm 0.72", estimated magnitude 9.1 mag

04:28 check AO

04:32 slew to the target HD16760

• 04:40 error during commit
• problem with the AO system

05:00 start again the sript

• luci1.0077 test ima
• sci luci1.0078-0124
• 05:08, seeing on the DIMM 0.94", on th WFC camera 0.94", fwhm 0.74", estimated mag 9.0
• 05:22 seeing on the DIMM 1.13", on the WFC 1.12", fwhm 0.9", estimated mag 9.1
• seeing is increasing
• 05:26 seeing on the DIMM 1.4", on the WFC 1.4", fwhm 1.1", estimated mag 9.1
• 05:33 seeing on the DIMM and on the WFC 1.6", fwhm 1.35", estimated mag 9.2

• 05:57 DIMM=1.7" fwhm =1.3"
• seeing fwhm variable between 0.7" 1.5"

06:03 slew to Nisini's program, field 3

• 06:05 MOS error

06:13 issue fixed. the target of Nisini is very high, the seeing now is about 1'-1.0', we slew to Perna's target

• 06:21 Aladin is stuck, we close LUCI panle and open it again
• acq telluric zj spec ==luci2.0125-0127
• seeing on the DIMM 0.9"
• sci telluric luci1.0128-0131=

06:36 slew to the target

• acq luci2.0132-0159 the last 24 images should be integrated
• sci luci2.0160-00183
• seeing very good, fwhm 0.8", on the dimm 1.0"
• 07:34 fwhm 0.8'-1.0", dimm 1.0"-1.1" but it jumps to higher values due to the wind.
• 07:59 dimm 1.36" and decreases

08:14 send again the script of Perna luci2.00184-0188

• seeing variable 1.0"-1.4" with jumps to 2.0''
• 08:22 the seeing on the DIMM 1.4"-1.7"

08:29 the seeing is too high, about 1.4"". We slew to Nisini's program

• telluric
• acq luci2.0189-0190
• 08:39 problem with the collimation, the TO corrects the collimation.

08:45 send again the script of the telluric HIP17971

• acq luci2.0191-0193
• sci luci2.0194-0205
• fwhm 1.3"

09:16 send the script for field 3

• acq luci2.206-0209
• sci luci2.0210-0233
• seeing about 1.8"
• 09:52 fwhm 1.3"
• 10:01 fwhm 1.2"
• 10:30 fhwm 0.9"
• 10:35 fhwm 1.5"
• 10:56 fwhm variable between 1.1"and 1.7"
• 11:06 the seeing in decreasing, variable around 1.1"

11:25 since the seeing is pretty good we slew to Nardini's program, we start with the telluric for q3

• acq luci1.0015-0018
• sci luci1.0019-0022
• seeing about 1.2 on the DIMM, fwhm 1.0

11:55 target q3 SDSS J094554

• acq luci1.0023-0027
• sci =luci1.0028-0043
• 12:02 seeing about 1.2 on the DIMM
