00:00 UT Overcast,we stay close

MODS CALIBRATIONS

• Gilli mask31 dualgrating arcflats mods1r.20181215.0002-0010,mods1b.20181215.0002-0010; mods2r.20181215.0002-0010,mods2b.20181215.0002-0010

03:14 the sky is a little bit clearer, we open.

03:31 send the script for the telluric HIP16652, Nisini field4

• acq luci1.2011215.0001-0002, luci1.20181215.0004-0005
• the exposure time is too low for this sky covered. we don't see the telluric in the image. We take another image a time exposure of 2.5(dit)x10(ndit)
• acq luci1.0003-0005, luci2,0006-0008
• 03:48 error copoiniting limit, right side.
• 03:50 we sand again the offset calculated during the alignment
• sci ==luci.0006-0013, luci2.0008-0016
• there is something wrong int he script, we have no spectra in the rightest slit.

*04:17 send again the acquisition

• abort and check pointing
• 04:20 send again the script luci1.0014-0016, luci2.0017-0019
• during the acquisition luci2 didn't take the image of the star, we take it manually.
• sci luci1.0017-0032, luci2.0020-0035

05:10 Slew to Nisini Field 4

• seeing 1" on guider but 2 mag of extinction, estimated from the guiding star
• wait for target to transit at culmination, otherwise is >88 degrees
• 05:20 send again script
• acq luci1.0033-0039, luci2.0036-0041
• 05:23 problems with guinding try again
• 05:37 we cannot acquire there are problems: sky iamge is missing and MOS allignement gives errors.
• 05:38 send script again
• seeing 1 hole in the sky almost clear at 5:45UT
• 05:54 start sci luci1.0040-0044, luci2.0042-0045 K filter==
• some cirrus but dimm seeing 1.0"
• luc1.0045-0049, luci2.0046-0050 J filter (we take one more image in both side because for clouds passed during that integration)
• luci1.0050-0055, luci2.0051-0057

07:05 slew to telluric HIP17971 for the field 2

• acq luci1.0056-0058, luci2.0058-0060
• sci luci1.0059-0074, luci2-0061-0076
• 07:20 error grating, we follow the instructions in the troubleshooting page
• 07:we go ahead with script even if the centrale wavelenght in luci2 is not stable. NOw it works.
• clouds are coming, 3 mag of extintion

08:00 slew to Nisini field2 seeing 1.1-1.4, passing cirrus

• acq luci1.0075-0080, luci2.0077-0084
• the maskhas severasl probelms: 1) one allignement slit 33 is not in the right position. Must have been edited manually; 2) we had to add -0.2(luci1) and -0.5(luci2)degrees to center the mask and several offsets. (negative rotation means moving stars counterclockwise)
• 08:35 sent sci luci1.0081-0097, luci2.0085-0100
• seeing 1.2 on guider 08:36, passing cirrus
• lost guiding at08:50 we pause
• 08:56 we continue
• We did only K and J bands

10:03 We slew to telluric HIP52192.xml for Marziani

• check pointing
• 10:13 mask in fpu
• problem moving mask
• seeing , passing dense cirrus

10:40 Nardini q6 get visible. Move to telluric HIP 53606

• 10:45 we cannot guide , too cloudy, we wait.
• acq luci1.0100-0101
• sci luci1.0102-0107 passing cirrus, difficult to guide , seeing ~1
• we took 2 images more because of the low signal, but the trace is obvious.

11:09 Slew to Nardini q6

• acq luci1.0109-0111
• seeing 0.8
• sci luci1.0112 guide lost, too cloudy , not good
• 11:25 we wait
• 12:00 guide is back we try again
• sci luci1.0113-0116 wesee the trace, 117-118 are not good

12:15 overcast, thick clouds, TO closes the dome and take calibrations.
