ENR CTIO 1.5-m 2021-03-03

Date: 
Wednesday, March 3, 2021
Telescope: 
CTIO 1.5-m
Submitter: 
Rodrigo Hinojosa
Submitter Email: 
rhinojosa@ctio.noao.edu
Observer Support: 
None
Night Assistant: 
Rodrigo Hinojosa
Problems: 

At the beginning of the night, while observing T0037117064 (00 21 51W -29 08 07) the telescope lost the track rate for a while. In order to re center the star in the fiber I turned off/on the track in the TCS, then moved back the star to the fiber. The star was out of the fiber for about 30 seconds. 

Several times along the night I received from the GUI the message --  ASYNC ERROR: DHE warning: TSMTEMP2 bellow_allowed_range (0.000000)[temp]<<_chiron

Comments: 

In order to have a baseline out-of-eclipse of one hour for MML 48, this target was observed until a sun altitude -6.0.

The program was completed successfully.
