INAF queue observing, 2024 May 04 - May 05

Observer: Ester Marini, Felice Cusano
Support: Justin Rupert
Telescope operator: David Gonzales Huerta
Instrument: LBC, PEPSI

Summary

These observations have been performed in C-19 mode by Ester Marini for the first half of the night, then from the remote control room in Bologna by Felice Cusano. At sunset there are some thin cirrus passing through. Wind speed is 10.9m/s, humidity is 28.8%. We open at 02:13UT.
Switching to PEPSI at 6:40 for clouds. Observed only one target, then thick clouds for the rest of the night.

INAF queue observing, 2024 May 06 - May 07

Observer: Andrea Rossi, Felice Cusano
Support: Justin Rupert
Telescope operator: David Gonzales Huerta
Instrument: LBC, PEPSI

Summary

These observations have been performed in C-19 mode by Andrea Rossi and Felice Cusano.

At sunset the sky is clear and we open, though with strong winds and 5 degrees temperature difference between mirrors and outside.
We started with LBC, but for bad seeing we switched to PEPSi after one hour. We observed with PEPSI for roughly 3.5h, then switched back to LBC as conditions improved a lot.
