INAF queue observing, 2015 Jan 14-15

Observer: E. Sani, S. Bisogni
Telescope Operator: D. Gonzales Huerta
Support Astronomer: Michelle Edwards (on call)
Instrument: LUCI-MODS-LBC

Summary

During the twilight the dome is closed due to high humidity (>95%) and temperature clore to the dew point (-8.1C). Thin cirrus are passing, clouds on the NE horizon.
Once the dome is opened we have thin cirrus scattered over the sky.

INAF queue observing, 2015 Jan 15-16

Observer: E. Sani, S. Bisogni
Telescope Operator: D. Gonzales Huerta
Support Astronomer: Michelle Edwards (on call) and Barry Rothberg (at the telescope)
Instrument: MODS - LBCred

Summary

During the twilight the sky is mostly clear, but we have stron wind with maximum gusts at 24.5 m/s. We can't run skyflats with LBCred.
At the dome opening we have cirrus scattered over the south horizon, maximum wind gusts 17.5 m/s and low humidity (16%).
Extremely variable seeing during the night ranging from 0.7 to 1.8.
