Clear night. Pointing and seeing both good.
More details on the Nightsum Report:
*Observing Team* _DES Observers:_ Federica Tarsitano, Richard Kron _Remote Support:_ *Observing Plan* # Second half observing. Takeover at 1:42 am CLT. # Standard SDSSJ0200-0000 (high airmass) at switchover. # ObsTac # 3 morning standards, including 1 calspec (SDSSJ0103-0020_CCD_35) *Conditions* # Clear. Wind ~25 mph. Humidity ~20%. *Accomplishments* # Check_flat done (see the screenshot in attachment). # Diskspace checked: both the observer2 disks and the pipeline disks are filled up less than their critical threshold (<90% and <93%, respectively). The nodes pipeline1,2,3,4 comfort1 need to be monitored since their disk usage, ~70% and ~80% respectively, is close to the threshold (see the screenshot in attachment). # Observed NGC 288 in the r and g band CCD N4, ExpID = 570479 and ExpID = 570480, respectively. See the g-band exposure in attachment, plus part of the mosaic exposure 57049 N4. # Observed widefields expID = 570430 - 570457 # Observed SN fields expID = 570458 – 570475 # Observed widefields expID = 570476 – 570431 # Ended observations and began standards at 6:55 am CLT. # Observed three morning standards. Calspec and two normal standards. *Comments* # Takeover at 1:47 am CLT; the delay, as announced during the 4 pm meeting, allowed the first-half-night-observer to finish his exposures, since yesterday night we stopped his last exposure at the takeover. # Pointing was good. # Seeing was good, except for a sensible raising trend for the SN exposures.
