Observer(s): Catherine Grier
Institution(s): OSU

Instrument: 4K

Worked for 11 hours (all night)
Conditions were Photometric most of the night.
No equipment or software problems were encountered.

Seeing and Weather:
   Beg: Seeing 1.5 arcsec, Clear, Winds Moderate
   Mid: Seeing 2.0 arcsec, Clear, Winds High
   End: Seeing 2.7 arcsec, Clear, Winds High

Observing Summary:

Most of the night went fine. It was pretty windy, although not windy 
enough that I needed to close. I did close an hour early because the wind was 
causing too much smearing, so I took some dome flats and called it quits. 

I have been having issues with ds9 for IRAF crashing on me-- it crashes quite often, when I am trying to open a 
new image. I also still received messages about the dome command not being received but the dome continued to track fine so, as advised, I ignored this error message.
