Summary

Details

UT 12:01 - Taking LBC Biases

UT 12:35 - Waking MODS - taking sieve snap

UT 12:51 - Running DOFPIA on Galaddi1 std field -sky still too bright

UT 01:00 - Running DOFPIA again - bkgd is 40k - too bright

UT 01:08 - Attempting DOFPIA again

UT 01:27 - killed DOFPIA, adding -2000nm Z8 to both mirrors

UT 01:28 - retrying DOFPIA

UT 01:33 - adding +2000nm Z7 to left side (SX)

UT 01:34 - redoing DOFPIA

UT 01:37 - went wrong way on SX - added -4000nm Z7 on blue

UT 01:38 - redoing DOFPIA - outside is -0.5, mirrors are -1.2 and -1.9

UT 01:47 - LBC issued "command rejected" and stopped taking data from DOFPIA - restarting DOFPIA

UT 01:52 - LBC issued "command rejected since another is running!" - dropped out of DOFPIA

UT 01:55 - doing -1000 nm Z11 red side

UT 02:00 - left -1.7, right -1 temps outside temp -0.4

UT 02:02 - Running DOFPIA - failed to find any pupils - stopped on its own

UT 02:07 - -300 Z11 to both, -50 Z22 to both -> recommended by Olga - final test - if can't collimate will move to MODS, -2000nm Z7 blue (SX)

UT 02:10 - running one last DOFPIA - hopefully pupils will stop looking like Calamari

UT 02:16 - Unable to converge on LBC - Switching to MODS - turning off LBC

UT 03:01 - First target is Feig110 - SpecStd

UT 03:15 - Collimated and moving to Feige 110

UT 03:17 - Collimation was done on 9th Mag star (appeared faint) - Unable to find the R=13.7 guidestar for Feige 110 - moving to Zenith to see if things improve

UT 03:18 - No stars visible - Closing for now

UT 10:08 - Putting MODS to sleep

UT 10:10 - LUCI end-of-night script run, logged out of NX/LUCI GUI
