1:58 Problem solved

2:17 we slew to Massi program G035.02

• 2:17 we send the script for Massi standard FS143
• 2:20 seeing on dimm 1"

• 2:29 we send the script for Massi target G035.02 (H2)
• 2:30 seeing on dimm 0.9"
• 2:50 seeing jumps to 1.6"
• 2:53 seeing on images 0.8"
• 3:03 seeing jumps to 1.4"
• 3:06 seeing on guider 0.8"
• 3:17 seeing on guider 0.8"
• 3:33 seeing on guider 0.7"
• 3:33 humidity rises to 90%
• due to the variable seeing, we take two more exposures per arm
• 3:48 humidity is 70%

• 3:50 we send the script for Massi target G035.02 (Ks)
• 3:51 seeing on dimm 1.0"
• luci1.0030.fits is not good

4:03 we slew to Massi program G108.20

• 4:03 we send the script for Massi target G108.20 (H2)
• 4:04 seeing on dimm 0.8"
• 4:23 seeing on dimm 0.7"
• 4:32 humidity 54%
• 4:49 seeing on dimm 0.83"
• 4:45 seeing jumps to 1.4"
• 4:58 seeing on dimm 0.98"
• 5:18 seeing on dimm 1.10"

• 5:20 we send the script for Massi target G108.20 (Ks)
• 5:28 seeing on dimm 0.98"

5:29 we slew to Nardini program J223408

• 5:30 we send the script for Nardini telluric HD205840
• 5:32 MOS error on LUCI2
• 5:45 MOS error solved
• 5:45 seeing on dimm 0.85"
• acq luci1.0060-0062 luci2.0061-0063

6:18 we slew to Massi program G097.53

• 6:18 we send the script for Massi standard FS151
• 6:18 MOS error on LUCI2
• 6:37 MOS error still persists. Dave suggested to go on with just LUCI1
• 6:40 we send again the script just for LUCI1 we changed the script in a hurry, so PARTNER and PI_NAME keywords are wrong
• 6:44 seeing on dimm 0.72"

• 6:51 we send the script for Massi target G097.53 (H2)
• 7:14 seeing on dimm 0.70"

• 8:20 we send the script for Massi target G097.53 (Ks)
• 8:21 check pointing
• 8:24 we send the script again
• 8:34 seeing on dimm 0.70"

8:35 we slew to Nardini program J0303
