Lucifer Darks were done end of night Jan 4/5
Started with Luci calibrations before sunset

Dense cirrus in E and SE that may prevent Luci observations tonight
Luci Fits images:
J flats -- 0001 - 0010 
0011-18 are mislabeled 
H flats --   0019 -0028 
K flats --  0029- 0038 

Lamps 0039 - 0058 J
      0059 - 0078 H
      0079 - 0108 K   

After Luci calibrations finished switched to MODS because of clouds.

------------------------------

01:10 Telescope open 

01:21 MODS installed 

01:30 Focussing

02:00 Chiller failure. Mirrors and MODS heating up, 15C above ambient.

02:00 GD191b2b flux std. dual, red only, and blue only 
      avg seeing 1.4 improving to 1.1 at end

02:42 GD71 flux std. dual and red only; clouds 
      avg seeing 1.6 at start, variable, 1.5 up to 1.8  

03:17 move to UM M33 VarC
brighter guide star selected 
03:33 exposure started, dual, seeing ~ 1.0 

03:50 move to OSUlensedQSO/he0435 
selected new guide star 1.5 mag brighter
04:08 exposure started seeing 1.4 and variable 
      Repeated the exposure series because of poor seeing. 

05:19 moved to zenith to reset alarm on Luci

05:25 move to mcg+08-11-011  
05.36 exposure started seeing 1.1 

06:12 moved to zenith again to reset alarm on Luci again 

06:25  move to OSUlensedQSO/sdss0924
     aborted -- bad seeing south

06:40 move to UM N2403 star 
06:44 blind offset, exposure started seeing 1.1
      integrations 3 x 900s

07:34 move to UVa_BCD_W0801
07:44 exposure started, seeing 1.0  

08:31 move to Feige 34 flux std 
08:40 exposure started, dual and red only, seeing worse - 1.4      

09:06 move to OSU_SN2011fe
      difficult to identify position, selected fuz between two stars 
      but closer to lower one 
      seeing 1.4 
09:38 pre-slit image to check position
09:47 exposure started, changed to 6 x 1800s seeing 1.2 
      seeing improved ~ 1.0
      3 hour total exposure, summed spectra show promising broad emision features
