OSURC run, night 2: UT October 24, 2019

Observers:
   Charlotte Wood, University of Notre Dame du Lac
   Donald Terndrup, The Ohio State University

LBTO Astronomer:
   Olga Kuhn

Telescope operator:
   Josh Williams

This will be a short night, as we need to hand off about UT 05:30 to
a time-critical PEPSI program.

Afternoon: starting with LBC.

Calibration:
    bias frames
    B and R sky flats
         - mainly for practice.  There are recent sky flats in the archive
           that should be adequate.  Forecast for the next couple of nights
           includes high winds, and morning flats will not be possible
           tonight because of the PEPSI program.

Completed programs:
    OSU_Monitor:
       NGC 6946
       NGC 6503
       NGC  672 - collimation problems but completed it.
       NGC  925

Night begins with clear skies, low humidity, and light winds.  Predicted
seeing is poor, but after collimation we have blue seeing 1.0" and red
seeing 0.6" at first pointing.

UT_start  Object/Notes
  01:20   Use OSU_Monitor/NGC 6946 as setup target. It is up at high
          elevation angle.
  01:30   Start OSU_Monitor/NGC 6946. DIMM 1.0"
  02:15   Sequence completed.

  02:25   Going to OSU_Monitor/NGC 6503.  DIMM 0.7"
  02:36   Start observing sequence.
  02:50   Finished

  03:04   Started OSU_Monitor/NGC 672    DIMM 0.75-0.80"
          Blue side collimation poor.  Stop sequence to
          recollimate.  Red side 0.8" FWHM.

  03:25   Even after a second try at the collimation, the PSFs
          on the blue side are not very good.  Will let the
          sequence finish, and maybe do this again if we
          have another night with LBC. As the sequence 
          progressed, the quality of the blue images got
          steadily worse. 

  03:55   Clear active optics on blue side, then run
          dohybrid.  Will stay here to see if we can complete
          an observation of this target.

  04:15   Try again. Seeing 1.1" in blue.  Seems to be good.

  04:50   Set up on NGC 925.
  05:02   Start observing sequence.  Good focus.  Seeing a
          bit worse than before.
