    51 between (OC16 & OC17)  and (OC14 & OC15), and therefore not tested separately for Phase 3 nighttime commissioning.

    5352In the table above, the acronyms mean the following:
    … …  
    150149'''SHARK-NIR Location''': LBT platform. All nighttime activities. Some daytime support (within SHARK-NIR) is anticipated. Also, the SHARK-NIR software, SHINS, is expected to be almost ready to be tested.
    151150
    152 Phase 3 is further divided into 5 runs. Run 1 consists of essential common activities to every observing case. This will be the first to be tested on-sky. Run 2-5 blocks represent the nighttime technical commissioning of a set of 17 observing cases. For each of the observing cases, only one target will be tested. The contrast obtained from the data will be used as the merit function / success criterion. If contrast is not an option, a similar (or another) merit function will be used. After the completion of each of these runs, SHARK-NIR will be ready for Phase 4 (science verification) of the respective observing cases.
    153 
    154 It is important to note that Run 2-5 are interchangeable. It is currently sorted to have the software complexity in the increasing order and also considering the science interest. Note that "Run N" does not mean that it is the Nth visit to the observatory. For example, Run 1 can be completed in 1 or 2 visits to the observatory, depending on the allotted time. Note also that, for individual runs (2-5), the time taken for other basic activities (such as moving from one target to another, setting up the telescope, closing the AO loop, etc.) are not explicitly mentioned in the table. For example, we anticipate, it may take between 10-20 minutes to move and set the telescope and close the AO loop from one target to another (numbers from the LUCI overheads table). This extra duration required will be mostly covered in the rounding up of the total nights.

    156155Every evening of the nighttime commissioning, all the required calibrations (including dark, bias, flat-field, etc. for all the filters required) will be taken using the SHARK-NIR calibration unit.
