INAF queue observing, 2023 Feb 27 - Feb28

Observer: Olga Kuhn
Telescope Operator: Josh Williams
Astronomers from Italy: Felice Cusano, Ester Marini, Andrea Rossi, Simona Paiano
Instrument: LUCI

Summary

These observations have been performed by LBT Italian observers connected from Italy with the support of LBTO personnel.
At the sunset the sky is clear, the wind is at the limit, we can open. We had to close for high wind at 8:00 UT.
We open again at 11:00. Some problems during the night with the LUCI1 guider.

Night duration (12 degree - twilight) 02:10 - 12:40 UT = * 10h* * 30m*
Observing time: 6 h 33 min (62 %)*
Weather time loss: 3 h 03 min (29 %)*

Summary

These observations have been performed by LBT Italian observers connected from Italy with the support of LBTO personnel. At sunset the cirrus and wind guts above 22 m/s force us to keep the dome closed.

INAF queue observing, 2023 Mar 02 - Mar 03

Observer: Dave Thompson
Telescope Operator: Steve Allanson
Astronomers from Italy: Felice Cusano, Ester Marini, Andrea Rossi, Simona Paiano
Instrument: LUCI

Summary

These observations have been performed by LBT Italian observers connected from Italy with the support of LBTO personnel.

At the sunset the sky seems clear, maybe a little but foggy, but the all sky camera is frozen and this prevents to have a real idea of the sky. In any case we have high humidity (above 90%) and wind gusts of 26 m/s. Steve Allanson sent an email declaring that we cannot open because the weather conditions prevents any safe roof access and a clear evaluation of the situation. We have to call the night!

Night duration (12 degree - twilight) 02:10 - 12:40 UT = * 10h* * 30m*
Observing time: 0 h 00 min (00 %)*
Weather time loss: 10 h 30 min (00 %)*
