-1930 Started doing the Darks at 70ms, 600ms, and 10s
-1945 Slewed to Phi Cas
-1949 Started Phi Cas capture
-2030 After attempting to find 1ES 1927+654, we are switching that target to Mkn501 since 1ES is way too dim
-2045 Started Mkn501 capture
-2142 Completed Mkn501 capture
-2144 Beta Tau is currently too low (9 altitude)
-2147 Mkn 501 is too low to take anymore captures, skipping it
-2150 Slewed to and Started Phi Cas capture
-2157 Completed Phi Cas capture
-2208 Slewed to and Started Mkn 590 capture
-2333 Completed Mkn 590 capture

- 0332 Beta Tau done
- 0332 Preparing for flats
- 0350 Following some troubleshooting, began flats
- 0425 Finished flats, starting close
Some ambiguity about what we needed to do for flats. We ended up needing a 12.5s exposure to get a “count” (which I believe is the same as the LUM Pixel Reading) of 20-30k, with the scope pointed at the whiteboard.
