*Observing Team*

_DES Observers:_ Ross Cawthon, James Lasker
_Telops:_ Hernan Tirado, Alberto Alvarez
_Remote Support:_ ---

*Observing Plan*

# Community Observer first half: David James (observer)
# Mid-night Standard stars
# run ObsTac queue
# morning standards

*Conditions*

# 2nd half of night pretty good seeing 1 arcsec or better for DES time (2nd half of night). Community time in first half had worse seeing. Moon still bright, lots of Y band and a few SN. Should check the quality of the SN as ObsTac did some right at 20 degrees from moon.

*Accomplishments*

# Mid-night standards, SDSSJ2300-0000, C26202/HST
# A few Z band widefield, a few SN fields (some right at 20 degrees from moon, should check), then many Y band widefield,
# GPS and Atmcam checked
# Morning standards: C26202/HST, SDSSJ0200-0000, SDSSJ0100-0000

*Minor Problems and Relevant Information*

# No issues

*Notes for Data Management*

# ObsTac took the SN-X fields which were right around 20 degrees from moon, should be checked. ObsTac did not do the SN-S# fields which were even closer than 20 degrees.
