Observing Summary:

We opened the 1.3m dome around 6pm to take twilight skyflats. After that, we took comparison lamp and bias exposures. We observed a standard star for calibration purposes. We observed a handful of high proper motion stars until 22:50. We moved on to observing two M dwarfs that we observed the previous night. Towards the end of the night, we encountered poor seeing, so we decided to monitor one of the brightest stars in our target list. We took comparison lamp exposures two more times throughout the night, once in the middle and once at the end. We closed the 1.3m dome around 5:45.
