     4•       **Category**            :       Daytime testing (functionality and operability) (C2)
     5•       **Recurrence**  :       once at commissioning
     6•       **Duration**            :       3 days
    77**Description**
    8 •       A bright enough on-axis star is acquired with SHARK-NIR, to define the offset to issue to the telescope for a successful pointing. Telescope collimation model is optimized for the night, if necessary.
     8•       This activity corresponds to the flexure tests for the SHARK-NIR.
    99**Prerequisites**
    10 •       Atmospheric conditions: should be able to see bight stars on the sky (preferably close to zenith?)
     10•       If relevant, estimate and remove the NCPA using phase-diversity method.
     11•       RR mounted on SX side.
    1112**Procedure**
    12 •       Authorize SHARK-NIR on the SX side.
    13 •       Point to bright star on the sky and acquire. Once the star is at the reference pixel of the SCICAM, record the nighttime telescope collimation model for SHARK NIR.
    14 •       Close the loop at least with low order to save the flat for the ASM.
    15 •       If needed, run again the NCPA estimation and record the flat again.
    16 •       Go to another bright star in the field to see if the star appears immediately in the FoV of SHARK-NIR. If needed, correct the offset and record new collimation. Iterate this with another star to cross-check again.
    17 •       If time allows, perform NCPA within SHARK (using the phase-diversity method) and check the working the residual tip-tilt loop+NCPA at the ALPAO DM.
    18 •       Save telemetry (open and closed loop of the ALPAO DM).
     13•       Test the positions of the various opto-mechanical components within the instrument using optical feedback while moving the telescope in elevation.
     14•       Change the velocity and acceleration of the movement of the telescope in elevation if required.
     15•       Remember to perform the tests for all the observing modes (whatever possible with RR or internal light sources)
     16•       You may want to disentangle the flexure of the RR while moving the telescope in elevation by comparing the optical feedback for the same movement with the internal light source.
     17•       This test will also test the working of the LBTO AO system while the telescope is moving in elevation.
     18•       Compare the results with that of Padova flexure tests.
    1919**Success criteria**
    20 •       First-ever ‘technical photons’ at the SHARK-NIR WFS and SCICAM.
    21 •       Nighttime collimation model of the SHARK-NIR is recorded.
    22 •       Satisfactory PSF quality with closed loop.
    23 •       Telemetry saved (open and closed loop of ALPAO DM) for **Phase** diversity NCPA estimation.
     20•       All the images and data are saved for analysis or to create the lookup table.
    2421**Notes**
     22•       If the test results are not satisfactory, this activity may be repeated again after making proper countermeasures to reduce the flexure.
    2523**LBTO support**
    26 •       Support from LBTI/LBTO?
    27 •       Presence of John Hill usually helps while collimating for the first time.
    28 •       Steve Allenson (as the TO) will be a great asset too.
     24* Authorize SHARK-NIR on SX side.
     25* RR will be required on the SX side.
     26* Support from LBT SW Team, LBTI/Arcetri team to run SOUL AO
