*Observing Team*
 
_DES Observers:_ David James, Claudio Bruderer, Peter Nugent
_Telops:_ Alberto Alvarez
_Remote Support:_ Manuel Hernandez 
 
*Observing Plan*
 
# standard bias and dome flat sequence
# evening standard stars
# run ObsTac queue
# middle/end of the night standard star 
# handover to DD, but used time to do DES SN then Main Survey observations - we killed the ObsTac as it ran out of things to do
# Standards carried out
# Observations of Eta Carinae for A. Rest
# end of night calibrations 
 
*Conditions*
 
# weather in afternoon: 4pm (local): Cloudy
# weather after dinner: 7pm (local): cirrus
# weather summary: 4am (local): some extinction all night long, humidty steadily rising to 72%
# Seeing conditions: Median: 1.1  RMS: 0.2
# Wind conditions: Calm
 
*Accomplishments*
 
# Afternoon: zeros done275124-275134 and 275210-275220, (ugriz) dome flats done275135-275209, checkedall ok, but u was lower than expected
# Winner of post sunset leisure activity: Nothing printable
# Evening: Standards 275221-275239
# Survey Exposures 275298-275395
# SN exposures 275240-275297
# Middle of night: Standards not taken, Non-photometric (to put it mildly)
# End of night: Standards: 275396-275400
# DD Observations Eta Car 275406-275420
# Back to DES End of night script
