INAF queue observing, 2026 Apr 04 - Apr 05

Observers:
ISA: Justin Ruppert
Telescope Operator: Josh Williams
Instrument: LUCI2, PEPSI

Summary

These observations have been performed in service mode, due to the unavailability of the LBT-Italia observers. Clouds were a nuisance for a significant portion of the night. We have limitations in the use of binocular observations of LUCI: only LUCI2 available. We start the night with LUCI2 but then we switch to PEPSI at 04:26UT due to clouds, and we switch back to LUCI2 at 05:57, when clouds moved away. Clouds came back towards end of the night.

Night duration (12 degree - twilight) 03:00 - 12:00 UT = 9h 00m
Observing time: 8hr 40min (96.3%)
Weather time loss: 0h 20min (3.7%)
Technical time loss: 0h 0mins (0%)*
Shark-VIS+NIR time loss: 0h 0min (0%)
