Starting with MODS

1:00 UT opened and initially collimated
1:10 UT moved to BD284211 standard seeing ~0.8-0.9 arcsec 
1:30 UT started MODS observations of BD284211 Seeing ~0.8"
              Right side looks better behaved than the left.

1:59 UT set up on UVa_BCD/J2329 - seeing varying on right side
         but good on the left. 0.8arcsec left and 1.0right.

2:25 UT seeing better on the right side after vent doors open
3:11 UT done with J2329- moving to ND_J0030QSO

3:20 UT cool double QSO with lensing galaxy  seeing 0.9arcsec
3:58 UT finishing with J0030QSO moving to J0030gal
4:16 UT Re-aligned on QSO and doing offset to galaxy
4:40 UT seeing between 0.7 to 0.8arcsec

5:00 UT moved to UVa_BCD/J0100 seeing very good ~0.5 to 0.6 arcsec
5:50 UT some thin clouds to the west.
6:06 UT done with J0100

6:10 UT gap in targets before PEPSI list becomes visible - will go to
             ND_j0240 MODS program

6:18 UT seeing 0.5", so making slit 0.6
6:31 UT start sequence on j0240
7:20 UT light clouds but seeing remains 0.6 to 0.7arcsec
7:35 UT thicker clouds coming in
7:55 UT stopping the J0240 sequences to change to PEPSI

7:58 UT reconfiguring to PEPSI
8:13 UT 11 minutes to switch to PEPSI
8:14 UT setting up on 2MJ0300p0218
8:23 UT exposures started for 2MJ0300p0218
8:42 UT S/N~85 in blue. Will do another exposure
8:50 UT seeing getting worse, but fewer clouds
8:57 UT done two exposures - moving to 2MJ0804p2210

9:25 UT 2MJ0804p2210 5minutes added to the exposure but S/N in blue
          still only 87 PI wants a S/N of 100 but not to exceed an
          exposure time of 900s...  this is impossible!

9:30 UT Moving to 2MJ0852p4416  few clouds
9:46 UT done, S/N in blue 90
9:48 UT moving to 2MJ0845p1758
10:08 UT done with 2MJ0845p1758  S/N~96 in blue
                  moving to 2MJ0832p0940
10:11 UT starting exposure 2MJ0832p0940,  some thicker clouds to the west
10:28 UT done with 2MJ0832p0940   S/N~81 in blue
                     moving to 2MJ0911p1757
10:30 UT starting exposure on 2MJ0911p1757 - Moon is up and we
                  can see light clouds all over.
10:47 UT done with 2MJ0911p1757  S/N~81  in blue
                   moving to 2MJ0940p2956
10:50 UT started exposure for 2MJ0940p2956. Lots of clouds.
11:09 UT clouds very thick. Counts down by 2/3rds. Doubled exposure
               finally done - S/N~86

11:23 UT moved to 2MJ0938p1817 - clouds still around.
11:40 UT   only S/N~47 in blue... moved to 2MJ1039p5753
11:42 UT  exposure started on 2MJ1039p5753, skies a bit better
11:47 UT  count-rate is higher than recent stars ~4000
11:57 UT  exposure done for 2MJ1039p5753  S/N~86   blue

12:00 UT  going to 2MJ1007p1916 
12:04 UT  starting exposure for 2MJ1007p1916 - clouds coming back
12:13 UT  clouds knocking down the counts by more than half. Stopping
                  the exposure.  S/N~73  over 100 in the red

12:25 UT Still thick clouds, but running out of time. Slewing to 2MJ1053p2118
12:35 UT Getting a bit better. Starting exposure on 2MJ1053p2118.
12:43 UT  Counts up. Sky getting bright!
12:50 UT  exposure finished. 2MJ1053p2118 S/N~75   in blue
12:52 UT   Shutting down.
