=====Log=====
  - Normal start-up procedures
  - Moved to Procyon
  - Focusing
      - Starting Focus: 2611.4
      - Ending focus is 2611
  - Achieving 15-17 pix FWHM
  - using phd2 autoguiding with RA tracking rate of 15.011 arcsec/sec
  - after we turned on autoguiding, the FWHM reported by sharpcap dropped to between 5 and 6.5 pix
  - saving all data to internal Z drive
  - On Procyon
      - using subarray 1200x250 pan 48, tilt 914
      - bin 1, mono16, .ser files, gain 279, brightness 40
      - 2 sequences of 120s each in u and g filters, taken before timing calibration
      - sequences also taken without .CameraSetting files
  - Moved to Venus
      - Note, needed to disable autoguiding between sequences to adjust source in frame. Venus does not move with stars, so PHD2 guiding on stars doesn't keep Venus centered
      - For all: TurboUSB at 100 (auto set to OFF) and High speed mode off
      - U filter
          - using subarray 1600x800 pan 48, tilt 640
          - bin 1, mono16, .ser files, gain 279, brightness 40
          - 2 sequences of 120s each in u filter, taken before timing calibration
          - have .CameraSetting files
      - G filter
          - using subarray 1600x800 pan 48, tilt 640
          - bin 1, mono16, .ser files, gain 100, brightness 40
          - 2 sequences of 120s each in g filter, taken before timing calibration
          - have .CameraSetting files
      - Z filter
          - using subarray 1600x800 pan 48, tilt 640
          - bin 1, mono16, .ser files, gain 200, brightness 40
          - 2 sequences of 120s each in z filter, taken before timing calibration
          - have .CameraSetting files
      - Another 2x120s in U
          - Same settings as above
  - Slewed to LAWD 73 (GrW +708247)
      - We expect this to be too dim to see with $12\mu s$ int time, so we slewed to something we could see (Polaris) to ensure pointing was correct. LAWD 73 is 13 mag, so we didn't want to just do a long exposure with the sky getting bright
      - We call this process "Going In Blind"
      - AND the SIMBAD ICRS RA & DEC were based on J2000, not J2023.5 (DFMTCS)
      - We slewed to Polaris in J2023.5
      - Then trusted that J2000 --> J2023.5 didn't change much with a proper motion of LAWD 73 at ~80mas/yr

=====Notes=====
  * With ASI 178 pixel scale at $2.4\mu{m}/{pix}$, PICSARR should have angular res of $0.0317 pix/\mu{m} \times 2.4\mu{m}/{pix} = 0.076"/pix$
  * Using DFM TCS and TS6 to give slew commands allowed scope to bypass limits on RA movement
      * This led to wires beginning to wrap -- we need to pay attention to this in the future

=====Weather=====
At end of night
  - 9C in Dome
