CTIO Blanco 4-m
Submitter: 
DJJ
Submitter Email:

Observer Support: 
Hernan Tirado
Night Assistant: 
Claudio Aguilera
Problems: 

Proposal 2014B-0071 does not exist in the SISPI database, and it needs to. I'll contact Chris S. concerning its omission.

Comments: 

None.Overall, a very successful night, albeit with poor, variable seeing for the first half of the night. 

 
Observations of several programs were accomplished:
 
(a) N2014B-0378: see elog #227345
 
Science images DECam_00345723 --> 810
 
 
(b) observations taken of the purported position of the International Sun-Earth Explorer 3.
 
PropID: 2014A-0634
 
Images are DECam_00345814 --> 844
 
and 
 
DECam_00345859 --> 868
 
see elogs #227438 and #227487
 
 
(c) Scripts fixed, and observations acquired for the DECam Legacy Survey folks, under propID: 2014B-0404
 
Images are DECam_00345872 --> 896
 
see elog #227498
 
 
(d) Deep z-filter observations acquired for a stellar stream project of whch I'm part of, with Chilean collaborators, proposalID 2014B-0610
 
Science images are DECam_00345914 --> 924
 
see elog #117545
 
 
(e) Two visits were made to three Kuiper Belt Objects fields for David Gerdes' 
project, under propID: 2013A-9999. 
 
 
For the three fields, 
 
Field1 images are:
 
DECam_00345933 --> 345937   and
DECam_00345997 --> 3446001
 
Field 2 images are:
 
DECam_00345938 --> 345942   and
DECam_00346002 --> 346006
 
Field 3 images are:
 
DECam_00345943 --> 345947   and
DECam_00346007 --> 346011
 
see log #227566
 
 
(f) Observations of a ToO Near-Earth Object, N006vz6, for the NEOwise team. 
 
Their proposal ID of 2014B-0071 does not exist in the SISPI database, and so 
I placed their data under my 2014A-0634 one. I'll alert the Tucson folks to this problem.
 
Science images are:
DECam_00345957 --> 345986
 
see elog #227584
 
 
(g) Finally, I observed deep z-filter images for a compact Hickson Group for 
an Australian collaborator of mine, under propID: 2014B-0614
 
Science images are:
DECam_00345988 --> 345996

(h)  Several standard star fields were observed under propID: 2014A-0634
 
see elogs # 227329, 227335, 227472, 227479, 227527, 227535 and 227558
 
 
Overall, an excellent, excellent night !
