LBT OSU/RC Observing Notes
Date: 2016 Jan 04 (UT)
Observers: Kevin Croxall (at Tucson Remote Facility)
Support: Olga Kuhn 
TelOps: Gino Bechetti

Summary: 
  Fairly clear skys at sunset.  Some clouds in the south that seem to be
  coming up from Baja. Forcast is for clear skies.  Starting with LBC.
  Having problems with the LBC red focus falling out.  However, the sky is clear
  and the seeing low. Stayed clear all night.  Early on had some trouble
  keeping the red side in focus due to rapid changes in temperature.  Some 
  less optimal seeing in the middle of the night but never terrible.

  Lost one red image in the OSU_monitor target N5194 and had to restart LBC.

UT 02:45 Had trouble getting LBC to focus.  ALl targets were low elevation
	  went to a high elevation field to focus now returning to first
	  target ND _ksn15a

UT 02:50 ND_ksn15a
	  Sky brightness ~21.7, seeing ~1"

UT 03:27 UM_AGC198606
	  Sky brightness ~21.66, seeing ~1" DIMM says 0.6"

UT 04:07 Red side loosing focus.  stop and refocused then continued after
	  the first offset.  sky brightness ~21.66, seeing ~0.8"

UT 04:34 Focusing again for the second set of observations on UM_AGC198606
	  sky brightness ~21.70, seeing ~1.0"

UT 05:01 Starting the UM_AGC198606_standard observation

UT 05:05 OSU_monitor N2903
	  seeing a bit worse ~1.2"

	  seeing ~0.8"
	  red focus slipping a little again but not as bad. 
	  had an error on red image 105610 where too few pixels 
	  were downloaded.  top third likely unusable. 
	  Red guider has stopped working.  Need to power cycle the LBC.
