Nighttime

DARK LGSW: 20150226_021930

We set the FLAO cube rotator to an angle of 208° (best position to minimize vignetting on LUCI according to July 2014 alignment).

We take a set of LUCI images at different cube rotator angles to verify this position (LUCI2.20150206.0135.fits is the one corresponding to 208°).

20:00: we point NGC2419, preset active sent from LUCI.

Nominal board position to center the stages on the LUCI rotator axis are: -74mm, -50mm.

PBL with pointing the new software doesn't work, we revert to the previous build.

Zenith operation

The LGS are far off their nominal position. We point the telescope to zenith and we go on the telescope to check their position.

We acquire LM1 to QC interaction matrix since it doesn't need any NGS.

NGC2419

We point back to NGC2419: the pointing model is not working anymore, we have to offset by hand the LM1 by +20theta and -20phi.

We try to optimize the LGS spot moving the astigmatism plate and taking snapshots for analysis.

1:50: we had clouds up to this time. Now seeing is about 0.7".

PockelsCellsTransmission test

Test performed at the end of the night because we could not keep closed the LGS loop on more than 36 modes... Sweep between 0.1 and 2.0us in 7 steps with Internal sources.
