Observers: Rafael, PJ (S1S2E1E2W1W2: 5-5-1-1-2-5) CLIMB on beam 1,2,3 *** S1W2E1, W2=ref. main goal: try MWC275 with this configuration. LT - 20:30 ** high humidity 80% LT - 21:00 ** humidity down to 60% NIRO ALIGN on delta Sco = HD143275 NIRO ALIGN on ref star HD160915 r0 = 1-2cm the images on NIRO ALIGN look pretty awful .. ** humidity back up to 85% closing for now ... switch to: *** S2W2E2, W2=ref. main goal: try MWC275 with this configuration. ** humidity back down 60% r0 = 1-3cm LT - 01:30 01:40 ref star HD160195 NIRO ALIGN fringes at +7000um/+3300um 1000Hz NONDEST LONGSCAN 01:55 cal HD163955 +7050um/+3350um counts ~ 60 vis ~ 0.3 pretty bad piston - sometimes loosing even the fringes for this K=4.5 cal! 02:10 trg mwc275 = HD163296 this is already 1 hour post-transit ... can only find the W2E2 fringe ... turn off skip low SNR and take some data ... xx/+3207um 02:40 cal HD163955 +6700um/+3300um humidity 20% out of delay ... go for v1295 Aql = HD190073 750Hz NONDEST LONGSCAN 03:00 ref star HD187691 = CHARA 260525 NIRO ALIGN fringes at +7300um/+2900um 03:10 cal HD188385 +7300um/+2900um counts ~ 40 vis ~ 0.3 - why so low ...? 03:20 trg v1295aql not finding fringes ... counts 20-40 compared to 60-70 on previous nights at same rate re-did NIRO ALIGN here to get more counts no fringes ... change to 500Hz for more signal no fringes ... change back to 750Hz to confirm the system vis 04:00 cal HD190498 vis ~ 0.3 - compared to 0.5 on previous nights at same rate ... --- Summary: S2W2E2: MWC275 fringes S2W2 only v1295 Aql: no fringes, probably due to poor conditions. ---
