*Observing Plan*

# First full night observing DES Y4
# evening standards: SF1615_CCD_35, SF1615_CCD_52, E8-A 
# ObsTac 
# morning standards: J0100-0000, J0200-0000, J0320-0000

*Conditions*

# at beginning: Light cirrus. 14 C. Wind < 10 mph. Humidity <20%. Moon 30% illum, sets at 03:18 UT
# at midpoint: clear, wind 20 mph

*Accomplishments*

# no evening standards because of cirrus
# mostly wide field; also SN-E1, SN-C3i, SN-C3z
# morning standards

*Comments*

# becoming clearer after around 01:25 UT; pretty good after 04:00 UT 
# wind increased sharply around 03:00 UT and seeing deteriorated at the same time
# median seeing for the night = 1.1 arcsec
