 =====Log===== =====Log=====
 +  - Setup Dome for observing with box fan blowing out doorway
 +  - Roughly pointed with Finderscope
 +    - Had to plug in data cable
 +    - Took down 178MM from tertiary scope
 +  - Dome was misaligned, fixed that
 +  - Eventually removed filter wheel and replaced U filter with CH4 (in IR)
 +    - Needed to find appropriate adapter for 178MM detector on filter wheel
 +  - Looked at Jupiter
 +  - Looked at M42
 +  - Looked for white dwarf, but couldn't find
 +  - Looked at Butterfly Nebula
 +  - Closed up, north mirror door was stuck, but fixed itself while we were in dome
 +      - Unsure how/why
 +  - Didn't get to use PICSARR, scheduled for Monday night
 +  - Seeing seemed to be 0.5" -- need to confirm with the few frames that were captured
  
 =====ToDo===== =====ToDo=====
 +  - Add wiki page for fixing misaligned dome 
 +    - On front panel: Set Dome Track to Home position 
 +    - Align dome with telescope using handpaddle 
 +    - In DFMTCS: Telescope -> Initialization -> Other Positions -> Use Telescope Azimuth 
 +    - On front panel: Set Dome Track back to Dome Track position 
 +    -
