excellent night! It is a real pleasure to observe with DECam. The tools (Kentools, observinghistory) are very useful, and make things so much more easy. Two thumbs up!!!
Here is one suggestion: In the observer Console, the "System Status" panel (containing the "Exposure Queue") is too skinny. If RA, DEC are specified, the Object name gets cut off, and that is one of the most important pieces of information. This can easily fixed, since the panel to the right with the Exposure History has plenty of white space.
Another small suggestion: In the "Observing History" the dates you can select are with respect to UT and not the night. So at the beginning of the night you have the observing history from the previous night, and you cannot select yet as maximum the next night, so when the UT date switches in the middle of the night, the log stops, you have to get out, and restart it.
Anyway, just minor things, overall a great experience!!
