Summary

Night duration (12\xB0 el twilight) 1:15-13:15 UT = 12h 00m

Observing time: h min (88%) 1.5 hor loss because we could not guide with LBC on Annibali R19, According to Olga email 2019/01/10 was a telescope problem.

Weather time loss: 0h m (0%)

technical time loss 1h 30m (12%)

Data Summary

At the sunset the sky is mostly clear, some cirrus on the horizone

Project_RUN	Objects	Instrument	Configuration	ExpTime /Time_tot	Images	Notes
Cusano	NW1,2,3	LBC	B (blue), V (red)	1.98/3.15		pass some cirrus during the first hour. Done 22...27, but NW3_27 NOT OK: lost guiding
Fabrizio	photcal	LBC	Ug (blue),ri (red)	0.08/0.08 h		completed
Fabrizio	TriII _bright	LBC	Ug (blue),ri (red)	0.06*2/0.06*2 h		completed
Fabrizio	TriII	LBC	U (blue),r (red)	0.42*2/0.42*2 h		completed
DeCarli	SDSSJ0842+1218	LBC	z (red)	0.7/2h		also got 0.7h in blure r band. Check last 17 images on red, from 08:45 maybe too bad,
Annibali	R19	LBC	g (blue), r (red)			maybe, the guiding star is not good, maybe , please try again
Annibali	R20	LBC	g (blue), r (red)	1h/1h		completed

• 04:57 NW-3_27 again
• seeing 1.0" on dimm
• 05:05 lost connection and got again
• NW-3_27 not good guiding problem!

05:08 slew to photometric standard for Fabrizio's program

• dofpia
• 05:17 start photcal OB
• not good the OB has probelms onlu U and r filters

05:40 lost connection

05:45 slew to TriII bright

• dofpia
• copointing

05:50 TriII bright, U,r

• seeing about 0.75"
• 6:00 TriII bright g,i

06:10 lost connection

06:18 TriII

• dofpia
• 06:22 start OB TriII

• seeing 1.1" on image at 06:40 UT

06:56 slew to phot_cal to do g and i bands

• dofpia
• 07:01 start OB

07:05 slew to De Carli

• dofpia
• copointing
• 07:16 start science
• exposure 5-6 on red stars elongated. Seeing is too good
• dimm seeing 0.5-0.6"
• 07:50 connection lost again
• seeing 0.6" on dimm
• 08:10 dofpia
• 08:24 send script again
• seeing 0.6" on dimm
• seeing 0.8" on image at 08:47
• 09:14 stars are elongated on red, we do again the dofpia
• we notice that the last half hour last 17 images on red, from 08:45, are too bad, not collimated, probably not good
• 09:20 copointing
• 09:25 run the ob again but the stars are elongated yet, we ask to the OT to clear the active optics.

09:31 slew to Annibali's program, target R19

• dohybrid
• copointing at 09:46
• lost connection at 09:50
• send OB 1 at 09:52
• guiding problem maybe
• dofpia again at 10:00 UT, in the blue channel it doesn't find pupils. We stop the procedure with control S, but is stuck
• 10:12 dofpia, /backout. dofpia again but it is not good
• we try the dofpia with a new copointing file.
• 10:26 start science OB 1
• 10:27 connection lost
• seeing 0.7" on image at 10:28
• 10:42 we stop again, there are problems with the guide stars, in the blue channel the stars are elongated.
• dofpia, /X2 but it doesn't work
• we run the dofpia in the copointing field. dofpia, /X2
• 10:53 run again the science script
• 10:58 the stars are elongated.

11:03 to undertand if the problem is due to the field or LBC we change target, slew to R20

• 11:05 dofpia, /X2
• 11:10 copointing
• 11:15 run UGC5666_1.ob
• the guide stars are elongated in the LBC panel
• the first is good, the second one has stars a little bit elongated close to the borders, but OK
• seeing about 0.7"on dimm
• 11:42 dofpia
• 11:46 run UGC5666_2.ob
• seeing about 0.8"on image at 12:05
• the second-last (penultima) images of red and last 2 of blue are elongated
• dofpia at 12:14
• 12:18 run UGC5666_3.ob
• dimm seeing 0.7"
• 12:25 seeing 0.8" on image
• 12:35 seeing 0.8" on image
• dofpia
• 12:53 take calibration field
• 12:56 take again 2 images of OB2 to revover bad guiding images

13:10 Slew to phot standard for Annibali and De Carli SA 101 gr_rz

• dofpia
• 13:19 SA101_gr_rz
