_Observers:_ Paul Williams, Jennifer Marshall, Brian Nord
_Telops:_ Alberto Alvarez, Manuel Hernandez
_Remote Support:_ Klaus and Ann
 
*Observing Plan*
 
# Afternoon calibrations - Community Observing flats & zeros
 
*Conditions*
# Lots of clouds that look to be forming overhead.
 
*Accomplishments*
 
# Afternoon bias and flats, expnums 352995-353103
# Beginning of night standards
** none, too many clouds
# Wide survey: g, r, Y, Z exposures for 1.5 hours through lots of clouds
# Closed for wind (and clouds) at 10:37pm local time
# David James contacted to begin a DECal z-band filter scan at 12:17 local time
 
*Problems*
 
# Interlock error at beginning of night.  Shutter wouldn't open.  Manuel Hernandez came to reboot two computers and restart SISPI.
 
*Notes for data management*
 
# Do not process 353168-353176 (setting up DECal)
 
*Other*
 
# Lots of wind and clouds all night.  Great night for a DECal scan!
