INAF queue observing, 2020 Jan 30 - Jan 31

Observers: A. Rossi, S. Paiano & Telescope Operator: S. Allanson & Support Astronomer: D. Thompson & Instrument: MODS1-2

At sunset the sky is partly cloudy but it is clearing up There is a little bit of moon, so the sky is brigther.

MODS: both ok

LBC:

• Thanks to the great work of LBTO now LBC blue is available again, although is just following the guiding of LBCred.

LUCI:

• LUCI1: not available all week
• LUCI2: not mounted due to AGW upgrade for SOUL

Temperature = -6 Humidity = 30 Wind =

Details

01:58 We start with the Antoniucci's program pointing V1118Ori with MODS1-2.

• Seeing = 1.2"
• Acq : = mods1r.20200131.0003-0008 mods2r.0003-0005 = Difficult to find the source in the slit during the acquisition because to high cloudiness (>2 mag of exctintion)
• Sci : = mods1b.03-06 ,mods1r.09-12 mods2b.03-06, mods2r.06-09 =
• 02:35 clouds are gone, seeing 1.5" on DIMM
• 02:50 seeing 1.0" on DIMM
• 02:55 passing cloud, 2 mag extinction, just for 5 min

03:09 Slew to Antoniucci AGLL322

• 03:25 DIMM seeing 1.5" variable
• 03:45 DIMM seeing 2"

*03:55 Slew to Antoniucci 2MASSJ06

• Seeing : 1.45
• Acq : = mods1r.0021-0022 mods2r.0018-0019 =

• 04:28 DIMM seeing 1.2" variable4

04:38 Switch to LBC

• DIMM seeing >1.3"

05:05 Slew to Alessio program DDT_BACKUP_1

• dohybrid
• seeing >2, difficult to converge. we try dofpia, X2
• copointing
• send DDT_BACKUP_1_1_gilli_field1.xml
• seeing >2 on images and ~1.5" on DIMM
• 05:46 send DDT_BACKUP_1_3_gilli_field2.xml
• seeing ~2
• 06:00 dopia, X2 " il red non ha trovato una appropriata collimazione"
• copointing
• 06:21 send DDT_BACKUP_1_5_gilli_field3.xml
• stars elongated
• dopia again

• dofpia
• 07:26 DDT_BACKUP_1_15_gilli_field8.xml
• 07:35 DDT_BACKUP_1_17_gilli_field9.xml
• we do again the first fields because seeing was >2
• 07:44 DDT_BACKUP_1_1_gilli_field1.xml again
• copoining
• dofpia
• 08:05 send DDT_BACKUP_1_3_gilli_field2.xml
• seeing1.5"-2"
• 08:15 send DDT_BACKUP_1_5_gilli_field3.xml

08:25 The seeing is still very bad, so we decide to switch to MODS

08:55 Slew to Mannucci J1045 PA 270

11:23 Slew to Mannucci J111501 PA +30

• seeing >3" on DIMM* seeing too high we have to abort

11:30 Slew to Mannucci J130646 PA 220 (higher field probably better)

• seeing too high cannot guide aborted, TO try to solve then we try again
• Acq : mods1r.0068-70- mods2r.0062-64
• we do not see anything in the aacquisition we stop
