Observers: Rafael, Chris (S1S2E1E2W1W2: 5-1-1-1-2-5) CLIMB on beam 1,2,3 Start with: B1 B2 B3 ---------- S1 W2 E1 (W2=REF) LT - 20:30 *** S1W2E1, W2=ref. new configuration this run. humidity 10-20% r0 = 4 cm - fast piston, poor seeing LT - 20:30 NIRO ALIGN on delta Sco = HD143275 found fringes at +2600 um / +4300 um go for HD142666 since last time at this baseline we only got 1 bracket ... 500HZ NONDEST MEDSCAN 21:20 cal HD148211 redo NIRO ALIGN boy, for a cal these fringes look awful ... bad seeing? note: yesterday i made the same comments ... hope not a bad cal ... +2700um/+4200um counts ~ 30 vis ~ 0.3 21:38 trg HD142666 +2600um/+3900um cunts ~ 30 - i think last time we had double counts ... stopped after ~150 scans ... taking too long ... need something easier for this seeing ... go for HD141569 = CHARA 178551 22:00 cal HD142072 NIRO ALIGN +2200um/+3500um counts ~ 50 vis ~ 0.2 - 0.4 22:20 trg HD141569 same offsets counts ~ 22:38 cal HD141247 +2300um/+3300um counts ~ 30 - 40 22:45 trg HD141569 +2300um/+3300um 23:00 cal HD142072 +2300um/+3200um 23:16 trg HD141569 +2300um/+3100um 23:40 cal HD141247 +2400um/+3000um these data were better than the HD142666 attempt (higher el), but still pretty poor calibrator fringes ... 23:50 change telescopes S1E1W2 (POPs 515) - longest baseline. W2 = REF go for v1295 Aql = HD190073 750Hz NONDEST MEDSCAN 00:30 cal HD188385 NIRO ALIGN +2100um/+3700um counts ~ 50 vis ~ 0.5 much better seeing at this higher elevation ... 00:45 trg v1295aql +2100um/+3700um counts ~ 70 vis ~ 0.1 nice tiny fringes ... 01:00 cal HD188385 +2100um/+3600um move REF 01:14 cal HD188385 +2150um/+3500um 01:19 trg v1295aql +2200um/+3500um +2200um/+3500um 01:45 cal HD189509 +2200um/+3500um 01:58 trg v1295aql +2250um/+3500um stopped after 100 good scans so i have time for cal before the scheduled power outage ... 02:13 cal HD189509 +2200um/+3400um change to config: S2E2W2 (POPs 115) (looking North) W2=REF planned scheduled power outage: 30sec starting at 02:30am. stop observing and start prep at 02:19. power came back on quickly, but then went out again until 02:44. telescopes tracking a star again at: 03:15. go for CygOB9 = CHARA 320137 for FLOUR Team (Absil). NIRO align on HD195647 S2 oscillating ... seems to have calmed down ... 1000Hz NONDEST MEDSCAN 03:45 cal HD195647 +7700um/+2800um counts ~ 90 vis ~ 0.4 03:50 trg CygOB9 having some difficulty acquiring on S2 ... +7700um/+2700um counts ~ vis ~ 0.4 / 0.2 / 0.2 03:10 cal HD195647 +7700um/+2600um counts ~ 70 04:20 trg CygOB9 +7750um/+2600um counts ~ 50 vis ~ 0.4 / 0.2 / 0.2 04:30 cal HD202312 +7700um / +2700um counts ~ 20 - this seems faint and resolved? vis ~ 0.3 - 0.4 - maybe OK? repeat the other cal: 04:35 cal HD195647 +7700um/+2500um 04:50 DONE. --- Summary: HD142666: 1 incomplete bracket. very poor seeing at low el.
