ENR CTIO Blanco 4-m 2015-11-20

Date: 
Friday, November 20, 2015
Telescope: 
CTIO Blanco 4-m
Submitter: 
Jelena Aleksic
Submitter Email: 
jelena@ifae.es
Observer Support: 
Manuel Hernandez
Night Assistant: 
Alberto Alvarez
Problems: 

DECal computer crashed (see the SISPI log for detailed list of alerts). Operations resumed after the machine reboot

Last moment addition: the last standard has failed (error: missing CCD extensions). Attempt to finish the standards failed. 

SISPI got stuck configuring, and was reinitizalized. We took the zeros at 06:05 local time. 

Comments: 

 Poor and unstable seeing conditions during approx. one hour of the final quarter (with seeing values ranging from 1.4 to 1.8). DIMM seeing was more stable and closer to 1 during that time (maximum being 1.3).
