ENR CTIO Blanco 4-m 2013-01-30

Date: 
Wednesday, January 30, 2013
Telescope: 
CTIO Blanco 4-m
Submitter: 
Lyndsay Old
Submitter Email: 
ppxlo@nottingham.ac.uk
Observer Support: 
Mauricio Rojas
Night Assistant: 
Claudio Aguilera
Also Present: 
DES crowd, AK, AvdL, DA
Problems: 

Initially after slewing to C3 and recentering the offsets were very small but over the course of taking C3 z-band exposures the offsets increased, for example, for exposure: DECam_00173645 the offsets are 12.6'' RA and 8.3''. This would be out of tolerance for the SN exposures.

 

------ 2nd half:
