Observer(s): Stephanie Hamilton
Institution(s): University of Michigan

Instrument: 4k imager

Worked for 5 hours (most of the night)
Conditions were Mixed most of the night.
No equipment or software problems were encountered.

Seeing and Weather:
   Clouds from 8p until 11p.
   Beg: Cirrus, Winds Light & Variable
   Mid: Clear, Winds Light & Variable
   End: Clear, Winds Light & Variable

Observing Summary:

We opened the dome around 11pm or so due to clouds and humidity. Conditions remained less than ideal until about 1am, but we were able to obtain some observations of bright objects

We encountered issues of streaking in longer exposures, thought to be related to focus, but ultimately were because the sidereal tracking rate wasn't auto-adjusting
