Date: 2018 Nov 3 UT Observers: Suk Sien Tie, Jack Neustadt TO: Steve Allanson SA: Olga Kuhn Moon phase: half full Summary: Began with mostly clear observations with fluctuating seeing, then encountered clouding over with a small technical difficulty. Solved issue, clouds cleared, and was able to finish calibrations. Completed Programs: OSU_manga/M81352 Calibrations: OSU_manga/M81352 Standard MODS cals (biases, lamps) Standard Stars: G191B2B GD71 Details (All times UT): ----------------------------------------------- 07:14 - Handover from SOUL-team. Took standard G191-B2B in red-only, dual-grating for MODS1, blue-only for MODS2 08:11 - Began program OSU-manga/M81352 Began acquisition script 08:29 - Began observation script for M81352 Seeing fluctuated between 1.5 and 2.2, then dropped to ~1 around 08:46. 09:00 - Connection temporarily cut out Wind began to pick up. Seeing went up to 2.5, went down to ~1.2, then fluctuated. 10:44 - Took standard GD71 Wavefront sensor for MODS1 stopped working around 11:00 11:31 - Started becoming cloudy, large amounts of extinction Wavefront sensor still not fixed, but collimation seemed okay throughout observations of GD71 11:39 - Clouds became intense, GD71 too faint in some spectra Resolved wavefront sensor problem on MODS1 by restarting senor and GCS-left Failed on two images, then started working again (?) 12:01 - Redid standard GD71. 12:58 - Began MODS calibrations
