None. Everything ran smoothly tonight.

Comments: 

Cloudy until 11:30pm and again at 5:30am.

5 sets of calibrations were done in the afternoon, as requested. However, by mistake Vsub was off at the start of the second sequence. This was eventually noted and the sequence started again. Images 460587 to 460668 are not usable. An entry in the eLog was made about this.

There was no good conditions to do the Star Flats this night. They should be done tomorrow or the day after, if sky conditions allow it.
