OSU/RC Queue Observing UTC 2011 November 18
(civil date 2011 Nov 17/18)
===========================================

Observers: K.Z. Stanek, R. Stoll (OSU)
Observing Assistant: Steve Allanson
Support Astronomer : Dave Thompson
Instrumentation    : Tim Shih

Instrument:  MODS

Summary:  Clouded out most of the night.  Opened briefly, did one observation
(OSU_CSB/SDSSJ092600) through the last bit of the dissipating clouds, then 
closed again due to rising humidity.

Detailed notes:

Closed from sunset due to clouds.
09:42 beginning to contemplate opening
Nope, just yet another sucker hole.

11:04 finally clearing.  Opening.

We are getting some clouds in and out, and the seeing isn't the best; the 
mirror isn't perfectly equilibrated, though I believe the vent doors have been 
open for hours.

11:41 Outside temperature has dropped two degrees in the last five minutes.
Delivered seeing isn't going to be too great.  Guider is estimating ~1.8".

Planning to do specphot standard PG0823+546 after this.  Have copied 
scripts from ~MODSeng/modsScripts/SpecPhot/, modified for just dual grating 
mode, for three images instead of one, and added Archive block with 
CALIBRATION for PROPID and PI_NAME.

First spectrum is gorgeous, but the humidity is spiking along with the 
dropping temperature, and we may have to close.

12:04 Fog is coming in.  Steve has made the decision to shut down.
Acquisition script exits somewhat gracefully from timeout because Steve has 
canceled the preset.  What's the best way to do this?
