2040 started observing HD 154445

2049 couldnt see HD 154445 (even though we could still see Beta Cep), went onto Phi Cas and were able to see it. Started taking captures

2100 did weather

2112 done taking Phi Cas, went onto Alpha Lac

2130 done with Alpha Lac, Returned to Beta Cep

2150 done with Beta Cep, gone onto Phi Cas

2210 done with Phi Cas, to Alpha Lac

2230 done with Alpha Lac, back to Beta Cep

2240 done with Beta Cep, gone onto Phi Cas

2305 done with Phi Cas, to Alpha Lac

2322 done with Alpha Lac, back to Beta Cep

2340 done with Beta Cep, gone onto Phi Cas

0000 done with phi cas, back to alpha lac
