 =====Log=====
+  [19:19:43] SESSION START
+  [19:19:43] obs arrival Percy
+  [19:19:43] obs arrival Sterling
+  [19:19:43] obs arrival Natalie
+  [19:19:43] obs arrival Noah
+  [19:19:43] Active instrument: PICSI2
+  [19:20:06] Completing startup procedures
+  [19:28:19] switched instrument from PICSARR2 to PICSI2
+  [19:52:36] Calibration start - darks 15s, 25 frames
+  [20:00:02] Calibration start - darks 10s, 25 frames
+  [20:20:53] calibration end
+  [20:21:18] Slewed to Arcturus for pointing
+  [20:21:29] Slewing to and starting Eta Boo capture
+  [20:35:01] Slewed to HD 154445 but we are completely saturating so we are waiting
+  [21:16:13] Starting Hd 154445 capture
+  [21:37:42] Slewed to OQ 334 and started taking 2 min single frame capture for Gaia
+  [23:56:47] Noticed that pointing was quite a bit off at 2355 - redid it. Data collected previously in the night may not be viable.
+  [23:57:44] Slewing to HD 154445
+  [23:58:52] HD 154445 acquired. Beginning capture. The target looks the same as wehen observed previously, but proceed with caution when reducing data.
+  [01:58:26] HD 154445 capture COMPLETE
+  [01:58:36] Slewing to UCAC4 776-040054
+  [02:00:29] UCAC4 776-040054 acquired, beginning capture
+  [02:35:10] OQ 334 is now too low on the horizon - we will be taking captures of BL Lac, as requested in the previous PICSI2 session
+  [04:18:15] We will use the same exposure and rotations as OQ 334
+  [04:22:36] BL Lac captures complete
+  [04:22:47] Slewing to UCAC4 776-040054
+  [04:22:53] UCAC4 776-040054 acquired, beginning capture
+  [04:53:43] UCAC4 776-040054 captures complete
+  [04:55:32] Logger is fullscreen and will not minimize, ending logger session to reset
+  [04:55:39] SESSION END
+  [04:56:19] Worked as expected.
+  [04:56:45] Further observation of the science target BL lac will result in rsaturation in the middle of the capture duration.
+  [04:57:22] We will opt to observe alpha lac as our last capture of the night. The sun is expected to rise in the coming 30mins
+  [04:57:32] Slewing to alpha lac
+  [04:59:23] alpha lac acquired, beginning capture
+  [05:00:44] Capture is expected to take only 10 minutes. Will assess the onset of oversaturation and see if we have time for one more capture of UCAC4 776-040054
+  [05:10:51] Will take one more capture of UCAC4 776-040054
+  [05:11:09] Slewed to and acquired UCAC4 776-040054 - beginning final capture of the night
+  [05:41:31] Capture completed. The detector is saturated.
+  [05:41:40] Beginning shutdown procedures
+  [0547] Copying data into PICSI2 z:drive
+  [0553] Shutdown complete, just waiting for files to finish copying over
+  [0557] Complete. Leaving the control room
