LBT OSU/RC Observing Notes
Date: 2016 Feb 09 (UT)
Observers: Kevin Croxall (at Tucson Remote Facility)
Support: Barry Rothberg 
TelOps: Gino Bechetti

Summary: 
	Beautiful skies at sunset.  Clear as can be.  Nearest 
	clouds are in Mexico.  Dry skies as well with seeing ~1".
	Had a bit of a temperature swing during the day so the
	mirror temps are abit uneven but not awful.  Had some
	hiccups in seeing due to an inversion layer but then it
	settled.  Swtiched to LBC just before midnight.

	Trouble due to the telluric acquisitions.  Needed to inserst 
	an additional time so the slit was visible in the slit image
	and then a ND1.5 filter to not saturate the star.

		brightness of the telluric star makes the
		acquisition challenging
		need a significantly longer exposure to see the slit
		shorter exposure on the star
		and a ND1.5 filter inserted to prevent saturation

		altered the telluric acquisiton script based on 
		the experience with the previous target.  Went
		MUCH smoother!

UT 04:29 OSU_KDdivBLRqsos/J0833
		seeing ~0.9"
UT 05:11        seeing jumped up to ~2"

UT 06:05	seeing stabilized ~1"

UT 06:41 Switching to LBC
		having some trouble with power to the swing arms...
		Gino resolved the issue but we lost about ~15min

UT 07:21 Running focus & collimation

UT 07:30 OSU_monitor/N3077
		seeing ~1", skybrightness 22.04

UT 08:27 stopped half way through the ob abd redid the focus as
		it was slipping.  Made a new ob that starts
		at the 6th dither.

UT 08:32 restarted the OB
		blue guider failed after 5 dithers...
		re-edited to perform only the last dither
		restarting the last dither blue had trouble for a bit
		then 20sec in found its guide star and was fine...
