*Observing Plan*
# Community observer first half: T. Abbott: superluminous SNe
# Mid-night standards (only 2)
# Turn on ObsTac
# Morning standards (while watching SISPI closely!)
*Conditions*
# Some clouds for the first half, second half (DES) predominantly clear
# Seeing was ~ 1.5 in the first half of the night, ~1 in the last quarter.
*Accomplishments*
# mid-night standards
# main survey hexes gri
# SN-E1 grizz
# SN-E2 grizz

# SN-X3 deep g band
# SN-X3 deep r band
# SN-X3 deep i band
# > 30 exposures with psf < 1.1
*Narrative*
# Some clouds for part of the first half of the night. Predominantly clear for the second half (during DES)
# Light to moderate winds (5-30 mph), around 20 for most of the night, around 15 for the last quarter. Windscreen was raised at 02:11, Louvers were shut throughout.
# Obstac initially took SN data when the SN fields came within 1.4 airmass. In the mean time, and after the SN data it took main survey hexes.
# From about 4:30 local onwards, seeing has been good: < 1.1 and several exposures around 0.9
# 2 Standards at midnight, 3 morning standards
# SISPI slowed down at 7:07 but this was fixed by a refresh.
# SISPI problems remained, starting at 07:21
# After taking standards, there was no more time for defocus_nightly
