Observers: Fabien Baron, Chris Farrington, FLUOR team B1 B2 B3 ---------- E1 W1 W2 (W1=REF) (S1S2E1E2W1W2: 4-5-1-3-1-5) CLIMB on beam 1,2,3 LT - 20:40 *** E1W1W2, W1=ref. Target HD142666, Cals: 140990 and 143616 start: weather clear, humidity 40-70% r0 = 6-8 cm scan length LONG check star NIRO ALIGN on HD 141513 20:55 110/-1700 21:08 200/-1820 Not sucessful finding W1W2 on calibrators, even if NIRO ALIGN on cal Had to stop due to humidity now reaching 85%+ anyway 23:20 reopening, trying mwc275 NIRO align on cal 164104 -236/-1790 FLUOR doing VEGA, had to debias tip/tilt 23:30 -220/-1653 500 /DEST (750 NONDEST not possible, saturated) recording HD 164104 (used previously) counts: 370 /400/300 V: 0.22 / 0.40 / 0.48 check beam 1 shutter at the end (fluke) 23:38 -200/-1590 scrapping the previous cal, seems like a variable (flux way higher than others) -- 0:32 now trying v1295 Aql, cals HD188385 and 189509 0:50 found ?/-1780 testing modes on cal while waiting 250 DEST ok 500 NONDEST better 1:24 now in delay -180/-1530 recording fringes on HD188385 at 500/NONDEST counts: 60 / 40 / 30 V: 0.50 / 0.52 / 0.35 1:54 -300/-1384 2:01 recording on v1295Aql, but saturating and not seeing fringes involving E1... piston seems too high to do anything trying MWC361 as backup 2:30 -1900/-2500 calib HD 198236 counts: 180 / 210 / 190 V: 0.49 / 0.52 / 0.36 2:35 -1891/-2500 2:50 recording fringes on MWC361 (using env COG) beginning does not have much signal, then gets much better with all 3T counts: 105/120/90 V: 0.12 / 0.20 / 0.16 2:59 -1773/-2400 cal HD 197950 counts: 75 / 90 / 75 V: 0.35 / 0.35 / 0.35 3:19 MWC 361 -1890/-2370 counts: 120 / 140 / 95 V: 0.10 / 0.23/ 0.11 3:32 cal HD 198236 (note: odd looking powerspectrum -- will need to investigate) -2000/-2480 counts: 120 / 170 / 140 V: 0.26 / 0.27 / 0.19 NIRO ALIGN 3:51 cal HD 198236 -2040 / -2420 counts: 170 / 190 /140 V: 0.30 / 0.36 / 0.30 4:03 MWC 361 -1916/-2360 counts: 100 / 130/ 100 V: 0.10 / 0.23 / 0.11 4:15 cal HD 197950 -1920 / -2300 counts: 80 / 100 / 80 V: 0.37 / 0.33 / 0.37 4:30 MWC 361 -1950/-2350 counts: 110 / 130 / 90 V: 0.11 / 0.25 / 0.12 4:45 cal HD 198236 -2090/-2440 counts: 165/ 210 / 165 V: 0.23 / 0.23 /0.24 5:00 MWC 361 -2000/-2380 counts: 120 / 130 / 100 V: 0.08 / 0.27 / 0.10 ---- summary of observations: Humidity levels rose during the first hours, preventing acquisition of early targets. After we reopened, not enough time was left to secure brackets on MWC275 or v1295Aql. Due to high piston (but ok seeing), we had to settle for MWC 361 once again. MWC 361 (5 brackets)
