Details (All times UT):
----------------------------------
01:00 - Was hoping to get some twilight flats done,
	but clouds are preventing that.

02:00 - Starting with standard GD 71. Shooting through
	some cirrus. Had a minor file naming issue
	since a handful of images had been taken
	earlier. 

02:30 - Going for J0742+27. Had a MODS1R image readout
	issue (image 0008) during acquisition. Seeing
	is great at around .7", but we've still got
	cirrus overhead. Added an extra exposure in
	MODS1B, MODS1R, and MODS2B because we had
	a hang in MODS2R and didn't want the other
	three sitting idle while MODS2R took its
	last image.

03:10 - Moving on to J0837. Had to do a longer exposure
	for the acquisition because the initial setting
	didn't make the target visible in MODS1.

03:30 - Had to update the script so that it would take
	the requested 4x900s exposures. Now starting
	science exposures. Seeing is about 1.2", and
	there are still light clouds overhead. Had 
	another weird copy issue when we had to run
	red expdone after MODS2R hung. This produced
	a copy of mods2r.20200228.0019 with the name
	191203M8.1j4

04:40 - Moving on to ASASSN14ae. No issues with target
	acquisition, began science exposures at 5:00.

06:30 - Seeing has been a bit worse for this target,
	a little worse than 1.5".

07:15 - Clouds have mostly gone away, so we're going
	to swith to LBC.

07:35 - LBC now good to go. Had a minor software
	issue with copointing for the first target,
	but quickly was able to start focus/collimating.

08:00 - Starting NGC4826 science exposures.

08:15 - First red exposure was very badly out of focus, so
	we stopped to try dofpia.

09:10 - Took several iterations of dohybrid/dofpia and 
	searching for focus fields with more stars before
	we could succesfully remove a huge coma issue
	with the focus. Eventually were able to focus on
	the M82 focus field, so we're going to do the
	science exposures for M82 while we're there.

09:15 - Images look decent, with <1" seeing measured in the
	image PSFs.

09:25 - Now moving to NGC4605, hoping to avoid focus issues.
	Things seemed to go well, started science at 09:35.
	Seeing is about 0.8". A little cirrus has moved in.

09:50 - Headed back to face our focusing demons at NGC4826.
	Getting about 1" seeing in the images after a
	succesful round of dofpia.

10:40 - Now going to NGC5194.

11:05 - Lost right side, so had to stop science.

11:15 - Going back to reacquire N5194 and focus/collimate.
	Getting a good bit of clouds now, making target
	acquisition difficult.

11:25 - Gave up on N5194 and went to try N4258. Running
	exposures scaled up by 1.5x to try to compensate
	for the clouds. Seeing is a bit above 1.5".

12:35 - Going to try N4236 before the sky gets too bright.

12:55 - Done with science, going to get some flats in a bit.

13:40 - Done with flats, now taking biases.
