INAF queue observing, 2024 June 04 - June 05

Observer: Felice Cusano, Ester Marini (and Lorenzo Napolitano)
Support: Justin Rupert
Telescope operator: Steve Allanson
Instrument: LBC

Summary

These observations have been performed in C-19 mode by Felice Cusano and Ester Marini from the remote control room in Rome (with the support of Lorenzo Napolitano, phd student). At sunset there are some thin cirrus passing through. We dedice to use LBC as the clouds are running away.
Sky was clear for the rest of the night with good seeing.

Summary

These observations have been performed in C-19 mode by Andrea Rossi and Simona Paiano. At sunset sky is cloudy but we can open and start observing with PEPSI. When the sky cleared up at 5:30 UT, we switched to LBC for Vito strategic program, and then at 9:45 UT we switched to LUCI to complete the night. 30 min of technical time were take to investigate a critical problem with the DX secondary, which is under investigation.
