Date: 
Tuesday, August 20, 2024
Telescope: 
CTIO Blanco 4-m
Submitter: 
Konstantina Boutsia
Observer Support: 
Manuel Hernandez
Night Assistant: 
Claudio Aguilera
Problems: 

At 5:20 LT there was a SISPI interlock because DECAL was not responding. DECAL was restarted and observations resumed. 5min lost

Comments: 

The telescope stayed closed for the first 3hrs because of clouds. At 22:00 LT the StarFlats scirpt was used. At the time the sky was mostly clear but probably not photometric. StarFlats were executed unlt 2:30 LT waiting for the GPAN error to appear but it did not. At 2:30LT we switched to a science program for the rest of the night .
