slew to HD 432:can't see anything

do velcro maneuver

still can't see anything
slew to Jupiter

so so very out of focus

slew to HD 432

focus currently: 2498.1

slew to HD 7927

slew to HD 61421

G99-37 also known as WD 0548−001 not in database so could not slew

slew to HD 21291
slew to GB6 J0601+5315 couldn't spot so temporarily changed int time to 1s still very dim
slew to M42 for fun
trying G99-37 again but 14.4 is beyond our ability
try and fail at Mkn 421
switch to PICSI but GUI not being able to open for some reason, instead using lab laptop
broad focused by one too many significant figures seemed to stop DFM from responding
dome went a little wild, Onkar went up to realign the dome controls and computer
still could not see anything after the great unfocusing and switching the focus on the DFM was still not changing it
I went to the bathroom and it was fixed when I got back
slew to PG 0934+554
