# End of night calibrations
 
*Conditions*
 
# Cotton everywhere, with sprinkles of blue. clouds moving slowly.

# Obstac started at 7:30pm local time
# Wide survey: r, i, z, Y exposures all useless due to clouds
# Closed for clouds at 10:34pm local time
# David James contacted to begin DECal i- and Y-band filter scans at 10:34pm local time
# Details of DECal scans are in elog #232466

# None
 
*Notes for data management*
 
# Do not process 353593-353598
