+  * Clean-up data on DC/External SSD/gDrive
+  * Take frames for tracking
+  * Take frames for seeing
+  * Run through process for determining limiting magnitude
+  * <del> Attach PICSARR to scope </del> @1820, then nvm scrub @1907, then nvm still scrubbed @1930

+=====Log=====
+  - Data Clean-Up
+    - Confirmed all D-Drive data on DC was synced to GoogleDrive.
+    - Removed all D-Drive data on DC
+    - Renamed D-Drive HDD-Drive
+  - Normal Start-Up Procedure
+  - Pointed at Vega
+  - Moved to M15 to collect tracking frames
+      - Set RA Tracking Rate to 15.042"/s and collected 10 frames with main scope without autoguiding
+      - Set RA Tracking Rate to 15.042"/s and collected 10 frames with finder without autoguiding
+      - Set RA Tracking Rate to 15.042"/s and collected 10 frames with main scope with autoguiding
+      - Set RA Tracking Rate to 15.009"/s and collected 10 frames with main scope with autoguiding
+      - Set RA Tracking Rate to 15.011"/s and collected 10 frames with main scope with autoguiding
+  - Turned off all security camera IR lamps
+  - Moved to HD 222603 and took 3x light frames TR=15.011"/s
+  - Moved to HD 41927 and took 3x light frames TR=15.011"/s
+  - Moved to ($\phi~Cas$)HD 7927 and stepped through smart histogram tool outlined by Eileen TR=15.011"/s
+      - Recorded Smart Histogram Results for each filter
+      - Took 10 frames in each filter with recommended settings from Smart Histogram
+  - Took 10x dark frames with each integration time mentioned above
+=====ToDo=====
+=====Notes=====
+  - North Mirror Door Assembly was misbehaving (not closing when asked by DFM TCS)
+      - Onkar reported high-pitched noise from motor assembly when closing
+      - We were able to force all doors closed
+      - Then they opened and closed successfully, with North slightly slower
+      - Onkar will investigate tomorrow (Thurs)
+  - TS6 did not take the scope to zenith -- it was about $10^\circ$ off of zenith
+      - We were able to get DFM TCS to move the scope to zenith
+      - Telescope > Movement > Offset/Zenith > Set Zenith Position (hit Apply) > then "Start Slew"
+=====Weather=====
+=====Data=====
+  - Darks stored in SharpCap Captures in gDrive: 2023-11-01 with "dark_#". Where #/10 is the integration time in s
+  - FLATS and Limiting Magnitude frames are in Projects > ASI432MM_bigpix > 20231102 along with all light frames
