Problems: 

Light found in the dome around midnight.  An inspection on the images seem to indicate it has no visible impact on them (This was a full Moon night). Observer was warned.

 

DECal machine failed at 07:09 UT. 5 min lost

 

Lost about 1 hour for clouds

Comments: 

AEON tests at the beginning of the night (0.5hr)

A short test for linearity measurements after the ToO. (1.0hr) 

Starflats. First sets affected by some clouds and should not be used (exposures 1439716 to 1439716). We stopped due to clouds for about 1 hour and made new sets in i, z, g with mostly clear conditions in the direction of the field (but night was non-photometric). Use with care.
