I observed the standard SP1446 twice:
- Just before nautic twilight for 60 s and at airmass of around 2.9 (alt 21-22 deg).
- I was uncertain that the focus-offset was set correctly, hence, I took a second spectrum just within nautic twilight of 25 s (alt 23-24 deg).
I activated remsave so these spectra should be saved to your data directory of program 59-509.
Unfortunately there some problems with the observation of the first target ZTF19aarykkb. The problem was that the acquisition was set to only 0.2 s in the OB which was too low to identify the target. In the first acquisition image the star just above the target could not be seen, hence, it was hard to tell if this was the target or the star. I tried to carry on the acquisition on the object which I though was the target. In the second acquisition the target totally disappeared and it was not possible to align it on the slit. Instead I manually put the rempath, guiding with parallactic angle, acquisition with 30 s exposure, and now the target could easily seen and placed on the slit. The observation of the first target was started at 00:49 UT. Two HeNe calib frames was taking, plus a r\' filter image of 60 s.
To avoid manual observation for ZTF19aarzaod, the OB script was modified to use a acquisition of 30 s, and everything went as planned with two spectra of the target and calib.
Afterwards Luca observed the same target in the g\', r\', i\' filters, and at the end of the night the OB observing \'griz\' was observed as well. It was a photometric night with seeing below 1.0 arcsec most of the time. |

Clear night but with a quite poor seeing above 1.5 arcsec. The first image of cand9 failed due to a guinding problem, but the observation was run again successfully. By request cand5 was observed twice. |
