Summary

These observations have been performed in C-19 mode by Ester Marini and Silvia Tosi.
At sunset there are a few clouds passing through, but then the sky becomes clear. We open at 2:40UT due to an issue with DXm1 and we start with MODS. Then we switch to LBC at 6:03UT.
An issue with the data transfer related to the repository (the cpu load average was very high) occurred twice tonight. See Jenny's log for more details.

Summary

These observations have been performed in C-19 mode by Ester Marini, Silvia Tosi and Felice Cusano.
At sunset the sky presents a few clouds but from the satellite it seems that there are more to come. We open at 2:33 and we start with MODS. We lost the connection with the mountain at 03:17UT and then again at 03:45UT. See Jenny's log for the details. We close at 4:05UT to solve the issue and re-open at 4:42UT. We finished the night with PEPSI due to poor seeing and cirrus.
