 +1. Worked through the startup procedure.
 +
 +2. Had trouble with opening the mirror doors (specifically the north). The South was the only one that was operating correctly.
 +
 +3. Took flats through NINA, not bright enough to take U, so skipped that.
 +
 +4. Set object position, and focused finder scope.
 +
 +5. Slewed to NGC 970 for pointing. 
 +
 +6. Slewed to GD 2. 
 +
 +7. Took Magnitude data on GD 2.
 +8. Slewed to the Crab Nebula aka M1. 
 +
 +9. Slewed to Jupiter at 2100 to observe the Red Spot. 
 +
 +10. Slewed to M82 aka Cigar Galaxy, took magnitude frames.
 +
 +11. We went through the closing procedure. 
 +
 +12. When closing there was a problem with closing the mirror doors (north). We had to close it manually.
