It is important that the research team receives as much information about the observing conditions as possible to account for any confounding variables in the data. This frame table must include rows for any light frames (different rows for different capture parameters), along with separate rows for each calibration frame -- again different rows for different parameters (e.g., time, filter, gain, etc).

 +Throughout the night, there should be a running timestamped log of everything that happens throughout the night (ex. going up into the dome because the mirror doors are stuck, powercycling because the detectors keep disconnecting, difficulties with pointing or guiding, everything!)
 +=====Weather=====
 +Use the National Weather Service to keep a log of the temperature and humidity every 2 hours
