Date: 2019 Jan 04 UT Observers: Danielle Berg, Ness Mayker, Erik Aver TO: Steve Allanson SA: Olga Kuhn Moon phase: Waning Crescent Summary: Clear Skies. Sub-arcsecond seeing all night. Started night with LUCI to accomodate time sensitive transit, finished with MODS. Failed acquisition of UM_XMDs target. UVa, OSU, & ND science targets observed. Completed Programs: LUCI: UVa_BCD J0240-0828 UVa_BCD J0159+0751 OSU_LUCI K2-25b Transit MODS: ND_carbon jy3193 OSU_M81BSG Field 2 Calibrations: LUCI UVa Darks (completes set from previous night) OSU_M81BSG Field 2 cals Standard Stars: UVa_BCD_LUCI Telluric Standard HD3071 UVa_BCD_LUCI Telluric Standard HD27822 Details (All times UT): ----------------------------------------------- 00:20 - Executing UVa BCD LUCI Darks. 00:45 - Opened. Focusing, collimating, AO. 01:00 - Guide Seeing (FWHM) ~0.6-0.7. Humidity 34% Wind Speed ~5-10 m/s 01:15 - Acquiring UVa BCD LUCI Telluric Standard HD3071. 01:30 - Executing observation UVa BCD LUCI Telluric Standard HD3071. Guide Seeing ~0.6-0.7. 01:40 - Detector close to saturation, >50,000, rather than more optimal ~30,000. Looking at non-Gaussian dist in DS9, SA thinks saturated. Exposure time 240 s much too long. 01:45 - Telluric Standard HD3071 script incorrectly used observation commands for Science Target, not Telluric Standard. Exposure times now 5 s. 01:50 - Executing observation UVa BCD LUCI Telluric Standard HD3071. Guide Seeing ~0.7-0.9. 01:55 - Acquiring UVa BCD LUCI Science Target J0240-0828. 02:00 - Error.
