Moon phase: half full

Summary: 2nd half night for OSURC, doing all LBC-red. 
	 Started out clear, but cirrusy and clouds for a few hours in between. 
	 Had a minor guiding issue at the beginning that was quickly resolved.
	 Smooth observing for the rest of the night.

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

07:40 - Handover from SOUL-team.  Took test biases.
	Moon is up, so doing all monitor OB's without blue channel
		
07:46 - began OSU_monitor for N628.  Seeing at ~1.2
	First image (075708) has doubled stars - telescope maybe shifted during exposure? 
	Second exposure (080247) - same issue.  LBC guide star plot showed crazy jumps.
	Third exposure (080827) - same issue.  Turned guiding off for the next 3 images.
	Fourth exposure (081420) - no jumping.  Seeing on image is around 1.3.
	Fifth exposure (081959) - fine.  Seeing around 1.8.  DIMM seeing fluctuated rapidly and randomly (up to 2.5"!).
	Sixth exposure (082538) - better than previous.
	After sixth exposure, Steve reset PCS so that we could try observing with guide star.

08:33 - Re-ran N628 OB for 3 exposures to make up for three bad images in previous run.
	
08:52 - Began OSU_monitor N672.  Seeing fluctuated within 1.2-1.6

09:33 - Began OSU_monitor N2403. Seeing around 1.2.

09:59 - Began OSU_monitor N3077. Seeing around 1.2-1.3.
	Background counts were (relatively) high, likely due to airmass

10:16 - Began OSU_monitor I2574.  Seeing around 1.1-1.5

10:31 - Began OSU_monitor N925.  Seeing around 1.2-1.4. Background counts are pretty high, ~48,000. 

11:02 - Began OSU_M81. Seeing ~2. Clouds coming in hard. 
	First 2 images look bad (probably useless) due to clouds. 

11:24 - Reran M81 obs. Seeing ~1.5-1.8. 
	Clouds starting to disperse and images look better. 

11:43 - Began OSU_M82. Still quite cirrusy. Seeing ~1.0. Images look decent. 

11:55 - Going to try N2903 (cirrus and relatively close to the moon). Seeing is 1.2. 
        Never mind, background counts are way too high. 

12:10 - Redo M82. Seeing ~1.0. Still cirrusy.
        Background cts have gone down to reasonable values (~4500). 

12:24 - Just past astro twilight. Can't find I-band obs script, so just going to re-do M81, since the background cts have gone considerably down. Seeing 1.0. 
	Images look much better. 

12:38 - Background cts getting higher due to brighter sky + clouds. 

13:00 - Done for the night. Took sky flats, but probably not useful due to clouds (consider it practice runs). 

13:31 - Biases.
