 +  - Slewed to LAWD 73 (GrW +708247)
 +      - We expect this to be too dim to see with $12\mu s$ int time, so we slewed to something we could see (Polaris) to ensure pointing was correct. LAWD 73 is 13 mag, so we didn't want to just do a long exposure with the sky getting bright
 +      - We call this process "Going In Blind"
 +      - AND the SIMBAD ICRS RA & DEC were based on J2000, not J2023.5 (DFMTCS)
 +      - We slewed to Polaris in J2023.5
 +      - Then trusted that J2000 --> J2023.5 didn't change much with a proper motion of LAWD 73 at ~80mas/yr
