Project	Objects	Filter	ExpTime	Notes
Valsecchi	1999AO10	g-sloan / r-sloan	-	tried to do Non-siderea tracking but it did not work - we sent suggestions to the PI how to adapt the OBs
Storm	IC10VI	V-bess / I-bess	10min	aborted twice, first because the blue side was out of focus, then because seeing ~1.8'' - fwhmb=2.12 / fwhmr=1.75 - no useful data
Bedin	M35_N2158	V-bess / i-sloan	20min	first images within spec but after the 2nd image in an OB it could not hold the focus and would go out of spec - fwhmb=1.44 / fwhmr=1.67 - no useful data
Donati	be27	B / V,I	12min	fwhmB=1.83 / fwhmV=1.59 / fwhmI=1.96 - all data out of specs
Donati	be30	B / V,I	12min	fwhmB=1.41 / fwhmV=1.54 / fwhmI=1.04 - marginally within specs as far as it concerns seeing and red images elongated: average ellipR=0.13 with peaks of 0.2
Donati	ngc2158	B / V,I	12min	fwhmB=1.12 / fwhmV=1.37 / fwhmI=1.05 - average ellipticity on the red: 0.11 - this set could be considered within specs.
Gilli	field1	rsloan / i-sloan,z-sloan	36min	fwhmblue=1.47 / fwhmred=1.54 (there are 12min with fwhmred=1.1") - out of specs

Valsecchi	1999AO10	g-sloan / r-sloan	~20min	tried to do Non-siderea tracking but it ignores offsets. Try to hack ephemeris
Bedin	M35_N2158	V-bess / i-sloan	~105min	considered complete - average fwhm on blue=0.87" and red= 0.83" (from allseeing)
Bellazzini	Sextans_A	g-sloan / r-sloan	~25min	check if it is complete - average fwhm on blue=0.89" and red= 0.82" (from allseeing)
Bellazzini	Sextans_B	g-sloan / r-sloan	~25min	considered complete - average fwhm on blue=1.04" and red= 0.86" (from allseeing)
Gilli	SDSS J1148+5251	r-sloan / i-sloan, z-sloan	3h	considered complete - average fwhm on blue=1.0" and red: i-sloan= 0.97" / z-sloan= 0.86" (from allseeing)
PhotStd	SA104	all filters
PhotStd	SA107	all filters

Valsecchi	1999AO10	g-sloan / r-sloan	1hr	this time NS tracking seems to have worked
Storm	IC10VI	V-bess / I-bess	5min	the airmass was low (~2.3) and the seeing was >2.0" so we aborted - after allseeing fwhm in blue=2.9" and red=2.6"
Donati	ber27	B / V,I	~10min	after allseeing fwhm in blue=1.53" and red: V= 1.45" / I= 1.36" - considered within specs
Donati	ngc2355	B / V,I	~10min	after allseeing fwhm in blue=1.65" and red: V= 1.66" / I=1.53 - marginally within specs
Donati	czer24	B / V,I	~10min	after allseeing fwhm in blue=1.8" and red: V= 1.7" / I= 1.5" - out of specs
Donati	ber30	B / V,I	~10min	after allseeing fwhm in blue=1.49" and red: V= 1.4" / I=1.22" - within specs
Donati	coll74	B / V,I	~10min	after allseeing fwhm in blue=1.97" and red: V= 2.06" / I= 1.6" - out of specs
Gilli	SDSS J	r-sloan / i-sloan	12min	aborted because of bad seeing - after allseeing fwhm in blue=1.65" and red=1.4" - out of specs
Fiore	Cosmos2	dual grating	3.5hr	after monitoring GCS seeing measurement ~1.5hr is out of spec - see figure attached in the end of log
Donnarumma	A1703m1	red grating	~50min	we aborted the second exposure because we were in twilight (only 850sec saved) - GCS seeing >1.4" during this OB - out of specs
STD_MODS	Feige34	dual/red grating

Valsecchi	1999AO10	g-sloan / r-sloan	30min	seeing was bad and we did not go on with the second pointing
Storm	IC10VI	V-bess / I-bess	5min	seeing was >3.0", measured on the images, so we aborted
Nonino	macsj0647	dual grating	1hr	seeing was >1.5"
Fiore	Cosmos2	dual grating	3hr	seeing was ~1.7" but this is comparable to yesterdays data - we have 6.5hr total - completed (?)
Donnarumma	A1703m1	red grating	1hr15min	seeing was around ~1.2" for most of the time going up to 1.4" at the end
STD_MODS	Feige34	dual/red grating	good for all MODS programs

Valsecchi	1999AO10	g-sloan / r-sloan	1hr	seeing was better than yesterday and we did both pointings
Storm	IC10VI	V-bess / I-bess	5min	seeing was ~2.0", measured on the images, so we aborted
Nonino	macsj0647	dual grating	1hr	seeing was ~1.3 which is comparable to the rest of the 4hrs - this mask is considered complete
Fiore	Cosmos1	dual grating	0.5hr	seeing was <1.3" - this mask is considered complete
Fiore	Cosmos2	dual grating	1hr	0.5hr was within specs and the second 0.5hr was as yesterday - this mask is considered complete
Donnarumma	A1703m1	red grating	1hr50min	seeing was around 1.0" for most of the time - this mask is considered complete
Donnarumma	A1703m2	red grating	1hr50min	seeing was <1.3" - the last exposure finished after sky started getting brighter - sky in the spectra does look higher!!
STD_MODS	Feige34	dual/red grating	good for all MODS programs
