_DES Observers:_ Keith Bechtol (Obs1), Brian Nord (Obs2), "M" [Elizabeth Buckley-Geer] (RM)
_Telops:_ Alberto Alvarez, Leo Paredes
_Remote Support:_ ---

*Observing Plan*

# standard bias and dome flat sequence
# evening standard stars
# ToO:
# run ObsTac queue
# end of the night standard star
# end of night calibrations

*Conditions*

# weather in afternoon: 5:03pm (local): Clear blue skies overhead, a few scattered clouds near horizon, winds ~8 mph, 15C, 30% humidity
# weather after dinner: 7pm (local): clear, very few wispy clouds, wind~8mph, 12C, 40% humidity
# weather after sunset: 9pm (local): clear, no clouds, wind~5mph, 10C, 52% humidity
# weather during night: ?pm (local): (remove line if its the same as before, add a line if its all starting to kick off up there)
# weather summary: clear, 10C, low wind
# Seeing conditions: 0.8 (rms 0.1) and 1.1 (rms 0.05)
# Wind conditions: low most of night; had to raise blind and louvers around 0200(local).

*Accomplishments*

# Afternoon: zeros done, (ugriz) dome flats done, flats checked
# Winner of post sunset leisure activity: K. Bechtol- run around the loop; second place: Nord ... photo-chillin
# Evening: Standards
## SDSSJ 0100-0000
## SDSSJ 0000-0000
## SDSSJ 2140-0000
# Survey Exposures: any filter during moon during 1st part of night; after moon-set, it goes to g,r,i
# SN exposures: Maybe S2 gband
# End of night: Standards (0547hr local)
