-- AndreaRossi - 16 Oct 2019

INAF queue observing, 2019 Oct 16- Oct 17

Observer: A. Rossi + R. Carini+ and A.Giunta from Rome
Telescope Operator: S. Allanson
Support Astronomer: B. Rothberg
Instrument: LUCI

At the sunset the sky is full of cirrus. LUCI2 is not available for spectroscopy due to masks-related problems.

Night duration (12 degree el twilight) 1:40 - 12:30 UT = 10 h 50m

Observing time: 8h 30min (72%)

Weather time loss: 1h 30min (14%)

technical time loss 1h 30min* (14%)

02:50 seeing 2 some clouds Switch to MODS

03:15 everything slow connection problems with instruments 10min loss

03:20 Slew to Mannucci program J01253 , but some preset problem 10minloss

• 03:30 start again

03:35 we are facing the wind, need to change target 10minloss
