21\subsection{Maximizing the duty cycle}

23\begin{verbatim}
24email Nicola Galante: \\

26I calculated duty-cycle with a Sun zenith angle greater
27than 105 deg, which means that Sun must be at least 15 deg below
28horizon, and not with an angle of 115 deg. I tried this calculation also
29with a limit of 108 deg, because a lot of people assume that the
30astronomical sunset is when the Sun is 18 deg below horizon. Using this
31assumption the calculated duty-cycle decreases of about 4\%(from 1.225 to
321.18 srad per year or from 9.75\% to 9.36\% vs 4pi srad per year). Anyway
33the definition of astronomical sunset influence the main cut on duty-cycle.
34About wind I can say that the data I used were provided by NOT, which is
35situated in a place more windy than where MAGIC is growing up. I made
36the calculation also with other upper limits to wind's speed then the
37usual 10 m/s, and we can gain quite a lot of duty-cycle (even about
381.5\%more vs 4pi srad per year) so it should be interesting to test the
39telescope during some windy or foggy days.

46If some significance is seen, observe the same position next night to get some OFF-data.
