Observer(s): David Atlee & Roberto Assef
Institution(s): The Ohio State University

Instrument: CCDS/Retrocam

Worked for 12 hours (all night)
Conditions were Photometric most of the night.
Problems were encountered, see the separate trouble report for details.

Seeing and Weather:
   Beg: Seeing 0.9 arcsec, Clear, Winds Calm, Humidity 70%
   Mid: Seeing 1.2 arcsec, Clear, Winds Calm, Humidity 70%
   End: Seeing 1.2 arcsec, Clear, Winds Calm, Humidity 60%

Observing Summary:

All night the sky was clear. Humidity was high (60-70%) but did 
not hindered the observations. 

We observed as part of the queue observations of The Ohio State
University. In particular, we monitored lenses and AGNs and we 
did follow-up spectroscopy and imaging of Super Novae for the
SDSSII project. 

We had small problems with the retrocam and ccds controls but
we were able to solve them. For the latest imaging targets we
noticed a strange pattern in the z band observations. We took 
skyflats also in the morning to help fixing this issue.
