ENR CTIO Blanco 4-m 2016-07-11

Date: 
Monday, July 11, 2016
Telescope: 
CTIO Blanco 4-m
Submitter:

Observer Support: 
Manuel Hernandez
Night Assistant: 
Claudio Aguilera
Also Present: 
Rodrigo Hernandez
Problems: 

During the afternoon, we found problems executing the observing scripts. Error message was related with not finding the path for "nohs". Under advice from Jay Elias, we restarted the system and the problem dissapeared.

Guider probe was blocking part of the CCD during calibrations and it took us some time to realize that was the reason.

Comments: 

It was a mostly cloudy night which was used to obtain calibrations for different configurations.

Toward the end of the night the sky gave us a break and we were able to make a focus sequence and to observe the ToO object.

The focus sequence (eg image eng.29569) does NOT show a gap between the last two exposures of the sequence, although it is clear that image #9 is a ghost. There are 10 images in each sequence and there were supposed to be 9.
