*Observing Plan*
# standard bias and dome flat sequence
# evening standard stars
# run ObsTac queue
# end of night standards
*Conditions*
# weather in afternoon: 4pm (local): Some thinnish clouds, fading out towards the east
# weather after sunset: 8pm (local):Mostly clear, some light cirrus to the east
# weather at 1am local: cloud to southwest and east. Some doubt about general transparency which might be relieved by a better RASICAM flat field. That said, there is definitely something passing overhead. Seeing sucks, 2"+
# weather at 3:30am local: I cannot convince myself that the apparent periods of overcast being reported by RASICAM are real. They could easily be artefacts of poor flat fielding and outside it looks pretty clear.
# Small earthquake during exp 482875
# 04:40: seeing somewhat improved, 1"-1.5" for the last hour or so. Clouds rolling in.
*Accomplishments*
# Afternoon: flats and biases, (ugrizYVR) dome flats done, flatCheck ok
# Evening: Beginning of night standards are SDSSJ2300-0000, SDSSJ2140-0000 , and E8-A.
# Survey Exposures 482681- in grizY bands including SN fields: X2 (griz), C1 (griz), S2 (griz), S1 (griz)
# aTmCam and GPS Monitor Checked.
