  OSU_ASASSN/ASASSN14li
  OSU_ASASSN/ASASSIN18jz

Calibrations:
  MODS1 & 2 Slitless pixel flats
  MODS1 & 1 Mask cals for UM_N2403

Standard Stars:

  G191-b2b
  HZ44


Details (All times UT):
-------------------------------------------------------------

00:30 - Handover. Thin cirrus overhead.
      - Starting the night with MODS.

00:45 - Running MODS2 calibrations - pixel flats

01:15 - Opening dome.

01:30 - Still pretty bright, but moving to first standard star: gd71. 
      - Delay due to defunct ds9 windows.
      - Switching from obs2 login to obs4 login
02:02 - Exposing on gd71
02:34 - Observing standard star g191b2b

02:50 - Moving to first target: ND_paloma_pa80
03:08 - Beginning science on ND_paloma
      - Seeing ~0.9
      - MODS1R is reading out very slowly. Sometimes. ~25% 
      - Clear and stable. Moderate wind.
03:50 - Variable seeing between 1.00 and 2.00
      - Strange. Sky looks clear. Wind and temps are stable.
04:00 - Seeing seems stable around 1.4
04:20 - Seeing ~1.20
04:45 - Seeing ~1.00
04:55 - Seeing ~0.85
05:23 - MODS1 Red detector behind 3 exposures.
      - Seeing ~1.00
05:55 - MODS2 Blue stopped on last exposure.
      	Taking one additonal exposure to make up for it.

06:07 - Moving to ASSASN14ae.
06:05 - Paused to Unwrap rotator.
      - IMCS got confused, so had to rerun acquisition.
06:30 - Executing science ob.
      	Clear skies. Seeing ~1.00.
07:15 - Seeing ~1.00.
07:45 - Seeing ~1.20.
08:05 - Thin cirrus overhead. Seeing ~0.9.
08:10 - Some clouds rolling in. 1 mag of extinction.

Looks like weather will be variable from here on out.
Will continue with ASASSN programs since they don't require clear skies.

08:20 - Moved to ASASSN14li
08:25 - Guide star aquisition failed.
      	Selected a new, slightly brighter GS.
08:35 - Unwrapping rotator.
08:38 - Re-acquiring ASASSN14li
08:52 - Executing science ob.
       	Some clouds. Seeing ~1.10.
09:07 - Seeing jumped to ~2.00. Oof.
09:13 -	Seeing ~1.40.
09:32 - Seeing ~1.80.
09:55 - Seeing ~1.10.

      	Light cirrus overhead.

10:45 - Moving to ASASSIN18jz
10:48 - Need to redo telescope pointing.
11:10 - Executing science ob.
      	Intermitten clouds. 
	Seeing ~1.4
11:20 - Seeing ~1.3
11:30 - Seeing ~1.1
