-I calculated duty-cycle with a Sun zenith angle greater

-horizon, and not with an angle of 115 deg. I tried this calculation also 
-with a limit of 108 deg, because a lot of people assume that the 
-astronomical sunset is when the Sun is 18 deg below horizon. Using this 
-assumption the calculated duty-cycle decreases of about 4\%(from 1.225 to 
-1.18 srad per year or from 9.75\% to 9.36\% vs 4pi srad per year). Anyway 
-the definition of astronomical sunset influence the main cut on duty-cycle.
-About wind I can say that the data I used were provided by NOT, which is 
-situated in a place more windy than where MAGIC is growing up. I made 
-the calculation also with other upper limits to wind's speed then the 
-usual 10 m/s, and we can gain quite a lot of duty-cycle (even about 
-1.5\%more vs 4pi srad per year) so it should be interesting to test the 
-telescope during some windy or foggy days.
