 Summary:
=========

We were closed until 04:00 due to high winds and then had problems with winds 
near the limit most of the night. The wind was primarily from the SW, 
which was unfortunately where most of our targets were. Several acquisitions 
were lost due to wind causing us to lose the guide star lock. Observations 
were ultimately obtained of ND_oldsn_ir, UM_458Vul, and UVa_H2Img. Several 
others were attemped but needed to be aborted. Additional time was lost due 
to subtle script errors. In one case the guide star hit a limit during a 
spectroscopic offset. This appears to have been missed by the script checker 
because there was a fairly large blind offset at the end of the acquisition 
script. In another case the finding chart for a program appears to have 
identified the wrong target.

 Details: 
=========

02:30	Sunset
04:01	The winds are somewhat high, but seem to be dropping so we are opening
	and observing targets facing away from the wind.
04:06	Twilight ends

========
UVa_BCD
========

04:21	Acquiring UVa_BCD_J1222
04:30	Lucifer interface crashed
05:15	Beginning exposure for BCD_J1222
05:28	Abandoning BCD_J1222.  The guide star was lost because it hit a 
	limit during the first offset. 

========
ND_oldsn_ir
========

05:32	Running ND_oldsn_ir_sn09nr_J
06:04	Running ND_oldsn_ir_sn09nr_H
06:06	Failed to find the guide star.  Fixing pointing.
06:08	Rerunning OB for ND_oldsn_ir_sn09nr_H

========
Wind Issues
========

06:40	Running MOS acq for GalCentX/gc4
06:45	Aborting due to wind.  Moving now to UVa_BCD_J1423
06:47	Aborting to check the wind speed at a different position.
06:55	Trying UVa_BCD
06:59	Abandoning this as well as torques are too high on azimuth.  
	Slewing to UVa_H2IMG_N6240_H2, same problem

========
UM_Vul458_Spec, Im
========

07:33	Moving to UM_Vul458_Spec
08:24	Target finally acquired, taking spectra.
	Finding chart appears to have indicated the wrong object. 
08:56	Beginning to take K-band images.
09:06	Taking J-band images.
09:16	Taking H-band images.

========
UVa_H2IMG
========

09:30	Returning to UVa_H2IMG_N6240_H2.

10:31 	Astronomical twilight

10:32	Slewing to standard star HIP 92428 for UM_Vul458_Spec
10:56	Wind too high, moving to a different telluric standard.
11:14	Taking arcs for UM_Vul458_Spec
11:16	Taking spec flats for UM_Vul458_Spec
11:30 	Closing up, starting darks 

12:01	Sunrise
