Night Report 2017-01-26

Observers: Jesper Sollerman, Francesco Taddia

TAT on duty: Michel Dennefeld, Nancy Elias-Rosa 

Support team: Cristina Barbarino, Anders Nyholm, Emir Karamehmetoglu

Daytime calibrations: 

SOFI: PESSTO_sofi_FlatJHK (in the evening)

EFOSC: PESSTO_bias, PESSTO_calib (only arcs) (in the morning)

seeing: at 1.1" at 05:07

            bad seeing at 06:43, we change to slit 1.5".

Weather: clouds at the beginning of the night, and telescope closed, with humidity >70%.

              01:07 80% humidity, still close.

              02:13 still closed, we decided to skip the rest of the planned SOFI observations  and switch to EFOSC. 

              The initial plan was to start to SOFI and finish with EFOSC.

03:04 telescope finally opens, image analysis
