LBT OSU/RC Partner OBserving Notes
Date: 2015 April 23 UTC 
Observers: OSURC - Croxall, Tie, Verbiscer
Support Astronomer: Olga Kuhn (on-call)
Telescope Operator: Geno B.

SUMMARY:
LBC for first half of night and LUCI second half. Seeing ok during LBC observations
(~1") but got worse during LUCI observations (~1.5").

At the recommendation of Olga, we doubled the exposures for the LUCI
observations, particularly as the seeing reached 1.6".  We had a fair bit of
difficulty finding the stars used in OSU_SDSSRMnirqso for slit alignment.  PI
may wish to increase the exposure, especially for 17th magnitude stars which 
were near invisible in the slit and had to be found using a smoothed ds9
image.

Programs completed are:
OSU_monitor: N4449, N4236 ,M101, N5194 
UVa_WISE: WISE_1046

OSU_SDSSRMnirqso: srmJ141551, srmJ141511

Observing Notes: (All times are UTC unless otherwise noted)

02:00 opening dome and airing out chamber
      clear skys.  A bit or haze/thin cirrus in the west.

02:34 moving to UVa_WISE_1046 focus
      closure did not move with the telescope...
03:04 re-acquire and sent dofpia
03:17 start observing UVa_WISE_1046
       seeing ~0.9"
       dimm seeeing 0.7"

03:36 moving to OSU_monitor N4449
      seeing ~0.8"

03:58 moving to OSU_monitor N4236

04:22 moving to OSU_monitor M101

05:50 moving to UVa_Wise 1521

06:43 LUCI pointing and collimating 
      LUCI test exposure 


06:55 srmJ141551 acquisition
      seeing 0.74

(took a long time to align - had to call up Olga)

08:29 srmJ141551 observation
      seeing 0.95

08:52 took another set of srmJ141551 exposure
     
09:14 HIP71172 acquisition
      preset failed because coulnd't find guide star - checked pointing

09:18 re-acquire HIP71172
      seeing 0.95

09:31 HIP71172 J band observation

09:40 srmJ141511 acquisition

09:55 srmJ141511 observation (nexpo increased to 2)
      seeing 1.5
      
10:39 srmJ141138 acquisition
      seeing 1.2
      can't find guide star so check telescope pointing

10:44 re-acquire srmJ141138 (nexpo remained the same)

11:08 HIP71172 aquisition (can't seem to center on star and we're pushing into
      twilight)

11:14 HIP71172 H+K observation
      Seeing 1.9

11:25 srm J flats
      srm H+K flats

11:35 Closing up in twilight.
