=====Log=====
| Time | Log Data |
| 1900 | Took Darks (made sure that they are in the same folder as the tonight's data) |
| 1914 | Took LED Calibrations (made sure that they are in the same folder as the tonight's data) |
| 2009 | Slewed to Epsilon Cas, Started taking Captures of it |
| 2023 | Slewed to Gamma Peg, Started taking Captures of it|
| 2034 | Ran out of Disk Space |
| 2038 | Started captures of Gamma Peg again. Ian fixed the storage thing. |
| 2057 | Started captures of Zeta Cas, Started taking Captures of it |
| 2121 | Started captures of Phi Cas, Started taking Captures of it |
| 2140 | Started captures of Alpha Lac, Started taking Captures of it |
| 2208 | Slewed to Epsilon Cas, Started taking Captures of it |
| 2234 | Slewed to Gamma Peg,  Started taking Captures of it |
| 2300 | Starting the change in Plan that Ian asked for. (swap out PICSARR for PICSI 2) |
| 2302 | slewed to target and set the exposure to 120 sec |
| 2305 | Put on PICSI 2 |
| 2325 | Tried to put PICSI 2 again, No success |
| 2345 | put on PICSARR back as PICSI 2 needs to be tested |
| 2350 | started normal PICSARR Plan |
| 0017 | Slewed to Zeta Cas and stared capture |
| 0038 | Slewed to Phi Cas, To dim to Capture, Moved to next Target |
| 0042 | Slewed to Alpha Lac and started Capture |
| 0030 | Krisman clocked in |
| 0100 | Sterling clocked in |
| 0107 | Slewed to and Started Delta Ceti capture |
| 0130 | Slewed to and Started Epsilon Cas capture |
| 0150 | For some reason the capture were saving to the desktop of the nuc, we ran out of space but it did not interfere will any of the capture, we are moving ~300GB of data to the Z: drive, estimated time is 45 min, files started being saved to the desktop when the Zeta Cas capture was started at 0017 |
| 0239 | Slewed to and Started Gamma Peg capture |
| 0257 | Slewed to and Started Zeta Cas capture |
