Observers: Steven Villanueva, Roberta Humphreys, Rick Pogge Support Astronomer: Olga Kuhn (remote from Tucson) Telescope Operator: David Gonzales NOTE: shared night with PEPSI 01:00 - 05:00 UT Turnover at UT 05:00 We will start with Luci imaging of N2403 -- an experimental program Our remaining LBC targets are second half and require darker sky Details: All times are UTC unless otherwise indicated -------------------------------------------------------------- sky is clear 05:05 configuring Luci 05:50 move to N2403A 05:54 exposure series started seeing 1.8 - 2.1 in visible measured seeing in H band image gives 1.0 - 1.1 seeing at H 07:03 move to N2403B 07:10 lost WFS, going to brighter star can't guide on GS, too faint for seeing can't find new brighter GS, changing center slightly, and selected brighter GS new GS failed for one of the offsets returned to original GS, but WFS still failing in poor seeing + moon turned off the wait for collimation and started exposing, 07:40 exposure series started without AO, 1.7 seeing in visible H band seeing 1.0 - 1.1 08:02 >2.0 visible seeing 08:48 configuring LBC 09:08 moving to N3489 running dofpia (seeing on DIMM 3.8) seeing so bad dofpia not converging 10:02 Seeing decreasing rapidly from high >4 to 2.4 Trying dofpia again (There seemed to be some correlation with highly and rapidly varying humidity -- possible inversion layer variation over mountain) seeing stilll too bad -- up to 3.3 10:59 Seeing dropped below 2.0, trying dofpia failed, to collimate manually 11:56 Massive coma correction needed, blue 5500nm Z7, red 6000nm Z7 2000nm Z8 still collimating 12:00 dofpia converged on test field, dofpia seeing est 1.2 - 1.4 moving to N3489 focus field and running dofpia 12:14 dofpia still not converging, manually added to blue -750nm Z6 12:22 converged! copointing 12:27 begin N3489 seeing blue 1.4, red 1.4 1.4 1.2 1.4 1.2 1.5 1.2 1.7 1.4 1.4 1.2 12:50 luci darks running in background ------------------------------------------------------------------ DONE Telescope closed
