LBT OSU/RC Queue Observing: UTC 2009 June 20

Observers: Courtney Epstein, Kris Stanek
TO: Wayne Wack
AA: Olga Kuhn

Summary: Clouds and rain cleared around UT0530. We lost time since the 
right mirror failed. We are running on only one compressor (the other 
compressor failed due to high humidity) and it is not good enough to 
support both mirrors. We observed sn15204 in one filter. We had to make 
multiple alterations to the OB. In particular, binning does not work. 
Humidity reached 95% and we shut down the telescope.

Observed: sn15204

Detailed Notes:

UT0914

Wanted to observe sn15204 because it can be done in only one filter 
(the red mirror is down). Changed the OB so that it is not binned since 
the binned image was saturated (WARNING: binning does not work). Also, 
scaled exposure times by 0.8. Discovered we were pointing at the wrong 
field (reading the bottom part of the CCD instead of the top).

UT1002

Edited OB so that we read all of chip 2. Restarted observations of sn15204. 
Seeing deteriorated. We did not complete the sequence since we reached 
a humidity level of 95%.
