-  - Propped roof door open with small desk
+  - Propped roof door open with a small desk
   - Propped the stairwell door with plank
-  - Designed subtended object guiding
+  - Designed subtended object-guiding
   - Started setup ~16:50
   - We have a fan blowing air out the door (The Box Fan)
   - Slewed to Jupiter for pointing.
   - Slewed to Almach to align.
+  - Aiden came in and we introduced him to information on tracking and guiding.
+  - We started the tracking study by implementing the plan.
+    - First, we started with no guiding and good tracking using (15.011 "/s)
+    - Second, we did no guiding and bad tracking using (14.5 "/s)
+    - We decided to use 14.5 "/s because 14 "/s was too much of a difference and moved relatively fast.
+    - Third, we did comet tracking with PHD2 and bad tracking with (14.5 "/s)
+    - Lastly, we did good tracking with comet tracking.
+    - Objects used for tracking "NGC 1662", "NGC 2301", "M35", "MGC 2158"
+    - Ran tracking data through the tracking code.
+    - Further plans are to analyze data to see if it matches Jupiter.
+  - Then we introduced seeing study to Aiden.
+    - Slewed to HD 10204 and took 5 seeing frames.
+    - Slewed to HD 19787 and took 5 seeing frames.
+    - Slewed to HD 37481 and took 5 seeing frames.
+  - The guest came into the observatory and we explained the aspects of the control room.
+  - Slewed to M42 for pretty pictures.
+  - Slewed to M35 for more tracking frames.
 =====ToDo=====
 Seeing Target List:
-  - Phi Cass (HD 7927)
   - HIP 7825 (HD 10204)
-  - Menkar (alpha Cet) (HD 18884)
   - Botein (sigma Ari) (HD 19787)
   - Pollux (HD 62509)
 =====Notes=====
+  * Data taken for ngc2343 is not currently able to be analyzed by the code, likely because of a double star in the frame.
+  * Seems that the same issue occurred in ngc2506
