Observers: Kevin Croxall, Jpnathon Brown Support Astronomer: Michelle Edwards Telescope Operator: David G.H. Summary Full night with MODS1. Cloudy start that then cleared. However, the clouds returned causing issues keeping even bright guide stars. MODS1: Feige34 OSU_VOID:VGS09A - bad weather, not sure it is useful (minimal lines visible in quicklook) OSU_CHAOS:NGC3627_F1 LBC: OSU_MONITOR:N3627 ND_LLSimaging:sbs1122 OSU_MONITOR:N3344 OSU_MONITOR:N6503 ND_LLSimaging:j1419 - worsening weather. not sure if useful Details: All times are UTC unless otherwise indicated MODS1 Calibrations 23:55 - Started instrument calibs NGC3627_f1.cal NGC3627_f2.cal a1423.cal macs1149.cal prbias.cal slitflats_b the binned blue flats saturated will reduce time and redo. slitflats 02:58 - clouds have cleared enough we can try opening variable cloud cover making collimation difficult seeing ~1.4" 03:31 - acquiring Feige34 (to compare counts to previous night and estimate cloud thickness) start obs seeing ~1.3" counts quite nice, clouds improving. 03:58 - acquiring VGS09A seeing ~2" 04:11 - staring obs having trouble with the guide star not great, more clouds and worse seeing in that part of the sky. 04:48 - acquiring OSU_CHAOS:NGC3627_F1 seeing not great, but clouds not horrible. thus moving to the mordeately brighter CHAOS target rather than SDSS1029 checking pointing re-collimating seeing ~1.1-1.3" 05:12 - Starting Obs, seeing ~1.2" 05:31 seeing ~1.2" 05:55 seeing ~1.1" 06:24 seeing ~1.0" 07:13 seeing ~0.94" 07:24 - **** reconfiguring to LBC **** 07:49 - acquiring OSU_MONITOR:N3627 08:02 - start obs seeing ~0.95" 08:49 - acquiring ND_LLSimaging:sbs1122 09:06 - start obs seeing ~0.96" 09:45 - acquiring OSU_MONITOR:N3344 09:56 - start obs seeing ~0.98" 10:28 - acquiring OSU_MONITOR:N6503 some clouds starting to roll through again 10:47 - start obs 11:03 - acquiring ND_LLSimaging:j1619 11:18 - starting obs more substantial clouds... not clicking done as it appears we are not getting sufficient counts on this target. 11:42 - acquiring OSU_MONITOR:M101 checking to see if M101 is visible... nope. between clouds and rising moon we are shut out. 11:58 - Dome closed.
