== Oct 18th, Tuesday ==

15:00-21:00; Stergios & Ioannis: Maintenance finished at 16:00. Tried EMIR system check after that time but weather conditions were too bad and we stopped. Tau225 was around 0.6 and quickly raised to > 1. No good pointing could be obtained, even with EMIR 3mm band (pwv > 10mm and up to 30-40 mm).

21:00-03:00; Stefano: Tau225 more than 1 most of the time, high wind speed (up to 30 m/s) and a couple occasions of rain. Telescope stopped throughout the shift.

Today's experiment (Thank you Albrecht!): <<BR>> <<BR>>

03:00-09:00; Antonio: Tau225 more than 1 most of the time, high wind speed (up to 30 m/s) and a couple occasions of rain. Telescope stopped throughout the shift.

15:00-21:00; Jianhang: High wind speed and Tau225. No observations.

21:00-03:00; Stefano: The telescope is still parked because of high winds.

== Oct 24th, Monday ==

03:00-09:00; Antonio: Wind.

09:00-15:00; Jianhang: Nice and Sunny. Wind.

15:00-21:00; Stavroula: A brief wind speed decrease allowed a short observing window of about 2hrs (18 - 20 local time). pwv was between 5 and 9 (tau225 0.4 - 0.6), so we only manages a couple of repetitions for the EMIR 3mm backup project 019-22. Then wind increased again and we stopped.

21:00-03:00; Stefano: NO comment.
