INAF queue observing, 2022 Apr 23 - Apr 24

Observer: A. Cardwell
Telescope Operator: S. Allanson
Astronomers from Italy: Felice Cusano, Ester Marini
Instrument: LBC

Summary

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic situation these observations have been performed by LBTO personel
through the indications of LBT Italian observers (F. Cusano, A. Rossi, S. Paiano and E. Marini) connected from Italy.

At sunset the sky is clear. We do not have internet connection to the mountain as the high wind of yesterday damaged the microwave antenna.
For this reason we can not do LUCI-AO observations as there is no AO support. The support astronomer A. Cardwell is driving to the mountain to perform regular observations with LBC. We start with LBC-bino.

Night duration (12 degree - twilight) 02:55 - 11:55 UT = 9 h 00 m
Observing time: 9h 00min (100%)*
Weather time loss: 0h 00min (0%)*
Technical time loss: 0h 00min (0%)*

Notes

a- Slight image jump in lbcb.20220424.060013 and lbcr.20220424.060011. Possibly due to TMS?

b- lbcb.063505 is trailed, Andrew and Steve believe it was a guiding (or more likely lack of guiding) issue, see the log for details.
