# Standards
# ObsTac
# End of night calibrations
 
*Conditions*
# Mostly clear!
# Intimidator clouds sitting off the west, threatening incursion. #YouShallNotPass!
 
*Accomplishments*
 
# Afternoon bias and flats, expnums 355049-355157
# Evening standards (only two standards available) done through the clouds
** E6-A
** SDSSJ1442-0005
# ToO: NEOwise N006x9j began at 19:33 local time
# Survey observations began at 19:42 local time
# Wide survey: g,r,i,z,Y exposures
# SN survey: X2, X3, C1, C2
# Morning standards

*Problems*
 
# SISPI observer console especially buggy: queue items wouldn't delete easily, many reloads of page.
 
*Notes for data management*
 
# ignore exposures ...
