Conditions improved and we opened 3 hours after sunset, but an issue with the left guider delayed us another hour. Skies were clear for the rest of the night with some cirrus and variable seeing (0.7--1.5 arcseconds). Completed Programs (Binocular MODS): UM_Novae/v5593sgr, ND_nher91a, OSU_ASASSN-15qi (18 degree twilight), BD284211 (standard star, 12 degree twilight) Details (All times UT): ----------------------------------------------------------------- Plan is Binocular MODS all night 01:04 -- MODS waked.
