  • Sam and John started opening procedures
  • Waiting to start looking at things
  • We took some flats
  • we slew to vega to check for pointing and focusing
  • Slew to hd143454
  • AutoDome is not working correctly
  • We slewed to 1es 1927+654 and took 10 frames of 70 seconds with the V filter
  • Decided to cancel earlier because skybot said there is high cloud coverage and lack of things to do.
  • started the closing procedure at 2050
  • finished closing procedures at 2115

Had to end early because of cloud coverage

Auto dome is being dumb
