*Observing Plan*
# standard bias and dome flat sequence
# evening standard stars
# run ObsTac queue
# morning standard stars and biases

*Conditions*
# The night appeared to be generally clear.  
# The Moon was 2 days before Full Moon.  
# The wind ranged from little of no wind at the beginning of the night to moderate (10-15 mph) towards the end of the night.
# FWHMs (as determined by QR) ranged from about 1.2 arcsec for the SN griz exposures at during the first half of the night to about 0.85 arcsec for the Wide Field and VVDS-10h izY exposures at the end of the night.
