02:15 LUCI 1 calib

• luci1 darks for Cassarà+Casasola, 200s MER,norm luci1.20190704.0002-0004 only 3
• had to stop calibrations because they need to check ventilation in the dome

03:35 target at +25 degrees we can start slew to target Nascimbeni Kelt 21

• 03:38 left M2 shell not good, stop and put telescope to +40
• 03:41 send again. M2 shell not good again. Call Doug Miller for instructions. Wrong configuration for the ADsec: they find that the ADsec limit of 25deg was given for the FLAO configuration, but instead SOUL is mounted
• 35 min loss
• 04:10 try send again, now it works acqBinomods mods1r.20190704.0011-0013 ; mods2r.0017-0019
