INAF queue observing, 2023 Mar 28 - Mar 29

Observer: Olga Kuhn
Telescope Operator: D. Gonzalez Huerta
Astronomers from Italy: Felice Cusano, Ester Marini, Andrea Rossi and 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 we can open, At about 08:30 we had to switch to MODS because the wind prevented us to observe
most of the LUCI high priority targets. We closed at 11:20 for high wind.

Night duration (12 degree - twilight) 02:40 - 12:10 UT = * 09h* * 30m*
Observing time: 7 h 0 min (73%)*

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 weather is bad with high wind (22m/s and gust up to 35 m/s) and high humidity (about 98%). The all sky camera is covered by a layer of snow.
During the night the wind decreased, but the humidity remained high (93-94%), we stayed closed.
