Date: 
Thursday, July 24, 2025
Telescope: 
CTIO Blanco 4-m

Andrew Pace
Submitter Email: 
apace@virginia.edu
Observer Support: 
Hernan Tirado

Problems: 

Had to restart keeper twice. The SISPI keeper became very slow (>15 seconds to respond). After the first restart, observer4 did not have all the images but observer2 did.

Comments: 

Major time losses (~entire final quarter) due to clouds --> could not guide when using N395 (even when increasing guider exptime).
