INAF queue observing, 2020 Dec 22 - Dec 23

Observer: A. Cardwell
Telescope Operator: Davide Huerta
Astronomers from Italy: F. Cusano, A. Rossi
Instrument: PESI-BINO

Summary

Due to the covid-19 pandemic situation these observations have been performed by LBTO personel
through the indications of LBT Italian observers (A. Rossi and F. Cusano) connected from Italy.

Wind gust above the limits at the beginning of the night we stay closed at sunset, we opened up at 4:50. Poor to awful seeing all night, and frequent wind gusts over the shutdown limit.
Ultimately we decided to spend the whole night with PEPSI, and did take a few hours of good data.

Night duration (12 degree el twilight) 01:20 - 13:20 UT = 12 h 00m
Observing time: 4h 0min ( 34%)
Weather time loss: 8h 0min ( 66%)
technical time loss h min ( %)

INAF queue observing, 2020 Dec 23 - Dec 24

Observer: A. Cardwell
Telescope Operator: Davide Huerta
Astronomers from Italy: F. Cusano, A. Rossi
Instrument: LUCI-BINO

Summary

Due to the covid-19 pandemic situation these observations have been performed by LBTO personel
through the indications of LBT Italian observers (A. Rossi and F. Cusano) connected from Italy.

Condition are good to open at the beginning of the night, but internet connection was lost to and from the mountain a 10 mins after 12 degree twilight. It was not recovered during the night.
Using the 4G hotspot we talked the OSA through the LUCI observations for the night. Progress was slow, but we did what we could. Average seeing was between 2” and 3” for most of the night, improving to 1” to 1.5” for the last hour or two of the night.

Night duration (12 degree el twilight) 01:20 - 13:20 UT = 12 h 00m
Observing time: 3h min ( 25%)
Weather time loss: 0h min ( %)
technical time loss 9h min ( 75%)
