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


UT 01:05 - Opened to scattered clouds.

UT 01:40 - deploying LBCR for possible mixed mode observing later in the
night.

UT 01:54 - acquiring BD384211 and collimating
	   there is cirrus throughout the sky. 1.0" seeing
UT 02:01 - starting obs script for BD384211
	   running dofpia on LBC
	   guider is showing ~0-3 mags of clouds

UT 02:11 - acquiring IC10LS
           too cloudy for the guide star
	   canceling and switching to poor weather programs
UT 02:15 - acquiring OSU_SBqsos4civ/q2118
           seeing 1.0", 0-2 mag of cloud cover
UT 02:28 - starting obs script for OSU_SBqsos4civ/q2118
UT 02:50 - going two extra exposures due to poor conditions earlier
           cloud cover has been very light for these last two exposures (<0.5
mag) and seeing has improved to 0.8"

UT 03:05 - acquiring OSU_IC10/IC10LS
	   0.9" seeing, scattered clouds, but none currently in the vicinity
of the target
UT 03:19 = starting obs script for OSU_IC10/IC10LS
UT 04:44 - there were occasional clouds... seems like a borderline case for
giving it extra observations, but we are going to move on...

UT 04:45 - acquiring OSU_M33/M33_LS2
	   the guide star is pretty close to the edge of the patrol field, but
the guiding seems adequate
UT 04:55 - starting obs script for OSU_M33/M33_LS2
           weather conditions seem to be improving. 0.9", clouds have been
clearing

UT 06:02 - acquiring OSU_SBqsos4civ/q0139
UT 06:13 - starting obs script for OSU_SBqsos4civ/q0139
           1.0" seeing, maybe a little cirrus

UT 06:39 - acquiring OSU_IC10/IC10 mos mask
UT 06:53 - starting obs script for OSU_IC10/IC10
	   seeing 1.0", conditions pretty clear

UT 07:31 - acquiring OSU_SBqsos4civ/q0209
	   Note: quide star is too close to the edge of the patrol field and
consequently the collimation is poor.
UT 07:40 - starting obs script for OSU_SBqsos4civ/q0209
	   seeing 1.1", mostly clear

UT 08:09 - acquiring OSU_M33/M33f
UT 08:23 - starting obs script for OSU_M33/M33f
	   seeing 0.8", clear conditions

UT 10:36 - starting OSU_ASASSN/ASASSN15nx - trying mixed mode (LBCR/MODS1) observing!
UT 10:48 - starting MODS ob and LBC ob SIMULTANEOUSLY! whoa...
	   got both the host and SN on the slit
	   one of the r' images seems to have been taken before the dither
finished.
	  the mixed mode observing worked out really well -- zero extra
overhead

UT 11:24 - starting OSU_ASASSN/NGC2617
UT 11:36 - starting obs script for OSU_ASASSN/NGC2617
	   only had time for the first 2 exposures -- not calling the program
'complete'.  Twilight is starting and
we want to get in a 2nd standard for the night.

UT 12:02 - acquiring g191b2b
UT 12:20 - obs script for g191b2b.  Reconfiguring to do twilight flats.

UT 12:42 - starting twilights

UT 13:06 - done.  closing.
	   got some lbcb V and Uspec flats
	          & lbcr R and Y flats

	   will run some lbc biases once the dome is buttoned up.
