Observing Notes: 

All times are UTC unless otherwise noted

01:14	Pointing check

01:29	OSU_z6q 3 acq
	A few clouds

01:39	First image: sky still too bright

01:53	OSU_z6q 3 acq on target

01:56	OSU_z6q 3_... observation
	seeing: 1.3 
	light clouds
	Clouds right where we are looking
	Diff image is barely detected, so calling this a nondetection

02:42	g191b2b std star acq

02:50	g191b2b std star observation

03:10	VM_Vshift acq
03:14	Error: no guide star 
	checking pointing

03:21	VM_Vshift acq retry
	col on different star

03:27	VM_Vshift aborted
	Too faint guiding star

03:28	OSU_ASASSN N14dc acq 
	We centered the slit in the middle of the ccd, had to fix with a offset
	We then centered the galaxy insead of the SN
	Something with the pointing wasn't right and we did acq again

03:57	OSU_ASASSN N14dc acq again

04:03	OSU_ASASSN N14dc obs
	0.89 seeing
	clear

04:42	OSU_MClusters PraA acq
	Took a while to figure out best pa to fit both targets on slit         

05:15	OSU_MClusters PraA obs
	Seeing 1.2
	Clear sky

05:40	OSU_MClusters PraB acq

05:58	OSU_MClusters PraB obs
	Spent too much time on aligning, so just observing one of two targets 
	Seeing 0.96, clear sky

06:16	Redo OSU_MClusters PraB obs (error on object timing out after 60 s)
	Seems like slit still managed to capture the second object, but
	probably lower snr than desired.

06:34	ND_void acq

06:46	ND_void obs
	Seeing 1.1, clear sky

07:27	ND_LRGCGM acq

07:35	ND_LRGCGM obs
	       

08:29	ND n4013disk acq
08:45	ND_n4013disk obs    
	Seeing 1.1,  clear 

09:24	OSU_ASASSN SN14lp acq

09:45	Abort OSU_ASASSN SN14lp obs due to wrong SN coordinates

09:49	UM_Vshift KISS acq
	Telescope preset error because script didn't have guide star name

09:57	UM_Vshift KISS re-acq after added dummy name for guide star

10:10	UM_VShift KISS obs 
	Seeing 0.87, clear 

10:48   ND_sn14ad acq
        Target very close to another object; had a hard time deciding which one
        is the real source. Eventually settled on the brighter one.

11:12   ND_sn14ad obs
 
12:14   OSU_ASSASN14li acq

12:24   OSU_ASSASN14li obs
        Seeing 1.2
        Clear

13:01 	OSU_ASSASN14ms acq  HA1
       	We are near Twilight, so not doing

13:07 	Feige 34 cal acq 
13:11 	Feige34 cal obs (dual grating and dual prism) 
      	Seeing 1,  clear skies at morning twilight
