  3. Took flats on BIGPIX
  4. Mounted 2600 on finderscope
  5. Talked about sidereal time
  6. Slewed to Jupiter
  7. Cameras went sayonara
    1. Slewed to Zenith, disconnected and reconnected cameras, no help
    2. Power cycled, great success
  8. Slewed back to Jupiter for pointing, focus was bad
    1. New Focus: 1908.7
  9. Slewed to Spiral Cluster
    1. Took 10 seeing frames
    2. Took tracking frames (AG ON and AG OFF, 10 min sequence w/ 10 captures)
  10. Slewed to NGC 1514
