Night Assistant:

Problems: 

Last night I reported some problems with the calibration lamps at the end of the night, tonight it was not possible to take any calibration lamp. When I tried to take a lamp I could see in the PI_LAMPS.vi that it turns on, but I could not see any signal in the exposure meter, neither in the spectra. Checking the calibrations at the end of the last night and this afternoon I could see several files without structure, please check them. Leonardo Paredes and I were connected by video call for a couple of hours, even we tried to solve this problem it was not possible, it is necessary a deeper revision ASAP. In order to continue with the observations Leonardo added targets with not calibrations needed.

Comments: 

Please check the calibrations taken at the end of the last night.

Please check the calibrations taken in the afternoon.

Please check the status of the calibration lamps ASAP.

Thin clouds / Partially cloudy  / Overcast the whole night, some spectra with variable and/or poor signal.
