Calibrations in the afternoon finished late, about 20 minutes after the time to start observations.
CHIRON log is not working.
At 02:20 UT, after of observing TIC451645081, the Th-Ar lamp failed, the lamp error window shows the message: Lamp set Th-Ar off --> CHIRON ERROR unknown ADAM model. I tried to get some lamp spectra but only background signal was obtained, it seems like if the lamp is burned, or the lamp doesn't receive enough energy, or something like that. I did the standard procedure trying to solve this problem: Turn Off/On the Chiron's software, reboot the Chiron computer, and reboot the torrent, nothing helped me to fix the problem. After of that we (Hernan, Humberto, Rodrigo and I) tried to find the origin of the problem without positive results, it is necessary a deeper analysis. The rest of the night I followed the schedule skipping the lamps.
