plus additoinal files that Eric took via the RTC control panel.
Tried to do a one-cal calibration at the Cassegrain focus. This was not possible.

Last night night report has been modified as follow: science time & preparation downtime for NACO technical have been set to 0.0.
I executed (tried) the imaging OBs of Bouy (71.C-0327), so that Lowell has a
complete information about what to ask for (+ nothing else available in the NACO
queue for this HA. Since the AO could close the loop on the object, I decided
to test the spectroscopic OB as well to see if the integration times were also wrong.
When I decided to move onto FORS2, it was to execute Pre-Imaging programs.
Each OB was indicated to last 10min. This would have brought us nicely into the
twilight. Followed by one standard, I could then do flats with FORS2 no problem.
However, it turned out that the execution of 4 of them lasted only 25 min in total!
I then could not continue pre-imaging programs (or others) because of the pointing
limit due to wind + one wind screen blocked which force me to observe at low airmass.
This is why we lost time changing focus again. At this stage I did not think the Vis WFS
will saturate so quickly. (No time lost: it was during twilight).
NACO technical downtime:
the RTC failed and the entire system crashed:
I had to stop & start the software.

NACO Performance Monitoring
14x14 VIS Strehl=0.903
7x7 VIS Strehl=0.968
14x14 IR Strehl=0.817
7x7V0 IR Strehl=0.809
7x7V1 IR Strehl=0.620
Re-initialised Lens X and Lens Y functions and repeated.
7x7V1 IR Strehl=0.551 - which is worse. We will need to
investigate.

No photometric standard taken: it was too late the end of the night and the good weather was used for science purposes.
Technical time: tests of the active optic (see PPRS 10745).
Time taken: from twilight till 23:51UT and [03:06-04:18] UT
