ENR CTIO 1.5-m 2021-02-28

Date: 
Sunday, February 28, 2021
Telescope: 
CTIO 1.5-m

Observer Support:

Night Assistant: 
None
Problems: 

- 02:09 UT Fails to START integration on T0349576261, rebooted OPTGUI twice: first time system reported communication issues to the DHE + no binning; a 2nd reboot worked (check /mir7 log: 210228230740_ios.log)
- 04:28 UT Tried HD113120  - at less than 3 hours HA- but was unreachable, in spite being well inside of the telescope known limits (4.5 hours): dome disabled! Strange.

Comments: 

- For G2K001162/3, guiding is 'regular' because of the telescope trend to drift W (balance.)
- On HIP075062, telescope drifts E, guides compensates. HA ~ 3hr Dec~-20 RA~15.3hr.
- No time for the "extras"  NOS lines: 43 to 46.
- Completed integration on last object with the Sun at -9.4 degrees of altitude (exposure did NOT stop at given limit of counts so I stopped at 180 [s])
