Technical time loss: 0h m (%)
Shark-VIS+NIR time loss: 0h 0m (0%)

Data Summary

Project_RUN	Objects	Instrument	Configuration	ExpTime /Time_tot	Notes
Giannini	Gaia21faq	LUCI BINO	zJ,HK	1hr	seeing 1.1"
Giannini	Gaia21faq	LUCI BINO	ima HJKs	0.2hr	after 12deg twilight. Stopped after the first K image set because of saturation. Same imaging taken also yesterday.
Malizia	NGC 5506	LUCI BINO	HK200, zJ200	0.7hr	script done twice due to clouds (up to 4 mag of extinction during first round)
Telluric	HIP 102074	LUCI BINO	zJ,HK		for Giannini. Only the telluric was taken, then clouds interrupted.
Telluric	HIP 102074	LUCI BINO	zJ		we took only zJ due to an error while changing the grating
Telluric	HIP 105437	LUCI BINO	HK		the previous telluric was at too high elevation
Troja	EP260527a	LUCI1-2	J, K imag	2h	19 exposures + extra to compensate for clouds. Seeing ~0.8"
