+- **Category**  :       Nighttime testing (functionality and operability) (C5)
 - **Recurrence**        :       once at commissioning
-- **Duration**  :       3 nights
+- **Duration**  :       2 hours
 
 **Description**
-- Evaluate the NCPA working and performance using the baseline approach, phase-diversity approach using the Wollaston prism & dual-band imaging, and measurement of NCPA using SHARK-NIR internal calibration sources.
+- Verify the acquisition sequence for SHARK-NIR
 
 **Prerequisites**
-- Atmospheric conditions: TBD
+- Atmospheric conditions: should be able to see bright stars in the sky (preferably close to zenith?).
 - Authorize SHARK-NIR on the SX side.
-- AO is working.
-- Target(s) at different Zenith distances with different magnitudes.
-- lookup tables of already calibrated NCPA measurements.
+- Suitable bright enough target (including the possibility of performing AO).
 
 **Procedure**
-- Acquire a star of a given magnitude, start SOUL-AO, followed by the internal-TT loop.
-- Check the working and performance of the NCPA (already calibrated) baseline approach. Take images at SCICAM.
-- Check the phase diversity NCPA approach using Wollaston prism + DI-DBI (already calibrated). Take images at SCICAM.
-- If the PSF after applying the calibrated NCPA is bad, we could close the SHARK-NIR shutter (can have the SOUL-AO running parallel) and do a quick internal NCPA measurement (either till the NCPA modal coefficients or until the new shape on ALPAO-DM) to confirm that the alignment of SHARK-NIR is still good. This would mean that the NCPA already calibrated is not good enough!
-- Measure the phase diversity NCPA approach using Wollaston prism + DI-DBI  and using real star (need to do on the spot, but script exists). Take images at SCICAM.
-- Check the pupil position by inserting the pupil lens.
-- Repeat for a different star (of various magnitudes and for a different telescope elevation). It is also good to do this for other seeing conditions.
+- Start the acquisition sequence: collimating the telescope to reduce the aberrations, close the loop and produce better ASM flat, NCPA estimation using phase-diversity algorithm, close SHARK-NIR tip-tilt+NCPA loop, and check the PSF quality at SCICAM. 
+- Save telemetry (open and closed loop of the ALPAO DM).
 
 **Templates**
-- SHARKNIR_di_cal_NCPA (not released)
+- SHARKNIR_ci_acq (not released) - coronagraphic mode
+- SHARKNIR_di_acq (not released) - direct imaging mode
+- SHARKNIR_lss_acq (not released) - long slit spectroscopy mode
 
 **Success criteria**
-- NCPA estimated and applied on the ASM / ALPAO DM.
-- Cross-check the NCPA performances with the daytime activity [wiki:/docs/CommissioningPlan/P2.6 P2.6].
-- The total residual after NCPA correction should be <30nm.
+- Successful acquisition sequence.

-- perform for 5 cases e.g. Rmag 8, 10, 10, 12, 14. These five cases where the star has different mag and at different zenith angles over different nights (so different seeing).
