Date: 2020 Nov 19 UTC Observers: Patrick Vallely, Rick Pogge Remote Participants: Charlotte Wood (ND), Mike Coughlin (UM) TO: Steve Allanson SA: Jenny Power, Alexander Becker All observers and SAs working remotely from their respective homes. Moon phase: Waxing Crescent (Illumination: 15%) Summary: Solid night of LBC. Lost small amounts of time to clouds and some minor technical issues. Calibrations: Us, B, and R Sky Flats Executed Programs: OSU_monitor/N672 OSU_dwarfs/NGC672dwB OSU_monitor/N628 ND_oldsn/sn09ig OSU_dwarfs/Halogas OSU_monitor/N2403 OSU_monitor/N2903 OSU_monitor/N3344 OSU_monitor/N4236 OSU_monitor/N4449 OSU_monitor/N3627 Details (All times UT): ---------------------------------- 00:20 - On schedule to open, planning on LBC. 00:55 - Lots of clouds, so skipping flats and waiting for 28-deg twilight to try and collimate. 01:15 - Having trouble starting collimation due to issues with IDL on-site. 01:30 - Seems to be sorted out now. Collimating. 01:50 - Moving to OSU_monitor/N672. Seeing a bit under 1", and the all-sky doesn't show significant clouds. 02:40 - Moving on to OSU_dwarfs/NGC672dwB (first script). Seeing is 0.75", sky looks clear. 03:15 - Re-collimating before doing the second script. 03:22 - Starting second science script. 03:55 - Started collimating for OSU_monitor/N628, but had to stop as clouds were too thick. 04:40 - Clouds seem to have cleared. Seeing is ~1". 05:35 - Working to collimate for ND_oldsn/sn09ig. 06:45 - Observations interrupted by an unexpected error in the LBC software. 07:00 - Got re-collimated and finishing ND_oldsn/sn09ig. 07:35 - Now moving onto OSU_dwarfs/Halogas. 08:15 - Starting second OSU_dwarfs/Halogas script. 08:45 - Doing OSU_monitor/N2403 since higher priority monitor targets aren't quite visible yet. 09:10 - Now moving to OSU_monitor/N2903. Lost some time dealing with a bright star in the focus field. Should update that script for future monitor programs. 10:00 - Now going to do OSU_monitor/N3344. Science started at 10:15. Seeing variable, averaging about 1". 10:50 - Now starting on OSU_monitor/N4236. 11:10 - On to OSU_monitor/N4449. 11:30 - Now getting OSU_monitor/N3627.
