INAF queue observing, 2019 May 30-31

Observer: F. Cusano
Telescope Operator: S. Allanson
Support Astronomer: O. Kuhn
Instrument: LBC

At the sunset the sky is clear. We start with LBC.
We wanted to change to LUCI around 8:40 UT, but for problem with instrument we stayed with LBC.

Summary

Night duration (12 degree el twilight) 3:23 - 11:11 UT = 7 h 48m

Observing time: 6h 48min (87%)

Weather time loss: 0h min (0%)

technical time loss 1h *min (13%)

Details

01:23 starting LBC bino bias

02:30 starting sky flats g, r

• g; r are good
• r; i counts are too low stopped

03:06 slewing to Annibali R26, NGC4163

• 3:13 dohybrid, too bright, we wait and chane copointing ob
• 3:27 starting again dohybrid, no pupil found on the blue side
• 3:33 sending again with X2
• 3:36 dimm seeing 1"
• 3:47 still not converging, too few pupils, the to give an offset to the telescope manually to move in a different field
• 3:48 dofpia, /X2
• 3:58 sending copointing, ob NGC4163_copoiting
• 4:04 sending science, ob NGC4163_1
• 4:03 dimm seeing 0.7"
• 4:12 blue images look elonganted, red is ok
• 4:18 images have not good fwhm, very high compared to dimm seeing
• 4:20 going to a good collimation field
• 4:26 sending again NGC4163_1
• 4:34 images looks better average fwhm on images 0.9"
• 4:38 right preset canceled problem with, stop the ob
• 4:39 sending again the script starting from were it was stopped
• 4:46 average fwhm blue side 1.0", red side 0.7"
• 4:55 dofpia, problem with red side
• 5:02 dohybrid
• 5:15 NGC4163_2
• 5:23 fwhm max on images 0.8-1"
• 5:33 fwhm max on images 0.6-0.8"
• 5:40 dofpia
• 5:44 sending NGC4163_3

6:06 slewing to Annibali R39

• 6:11 dofpia
• 6:16 sending UGC8760_1
• 6:16 dimm seeing 0.8"
• 6:27 fwhm on LBC-B 1", on LBC-R 0.8"
• 6:43 dofpia
• 6:49 sending UGC87_60_2
• 6:54 dimm seeing 0.7", fwhm on images ~0.7-0.8"
• 7:18 dofpia
• 7:21 sending UGC8760_3, two exposure on the red side are elongated, we will take two more
• 7:50 dofpia
• 7:5 sending UGC8760_3, for two exposure only

08:01 slewing to Annibali R44

• 8:03 dofpia
• 8:08 sending science NGC6789_3
• 8:38 dimm seeing 0.9"
• 8:39 the idea was to switch to LUCI, but there is a problem of connection with LUCI1, we stay with LBC

08:41 slewing to Prandoni, TGSSJ1530

• 8:45 dofpia, problem with dofpia, LBC B and R not autorized but they are, we solve the problem changing account, we send dofpia from the lbto account
• 8:58 starting science TGSSJ1530_g_i_1
• 9:05 fwhm 0.7-1.0" on images, dimm seeing 0.7"
• 9:20 no more space on obs2 we move the observations to obs3, no problem for the observations that keep running
• 9:53 dofpia
• 09:58 osa restart the software because red tracker was in a bad state, problem solved
• 10:03 sending TGSSJ1530_g_i_2
• 10:14 obs stopped target too low in elevation

10:14 slewing to Rossi GRB180809B

• 10:16 dofpia
• 10:21 starting science grb180908b_LBCbr_r+z.xml
• 10:25 dimm seeing 0.7"
• 10:50 dofpia
• 10:53 sending again the script, it is still dark

11:30 starting sky flats r; i

• r; i
• 11:44 trying r; z flat, goo counts also *
