Observing Summary:

The purpose of tonight was to take the time off the telescope and do what Eric suggested of playing around with the setup (disp,filter) of OSMOS to see if I could remove some of the bad fringing over 850 nm. I started at 22:48 after the Guide probe kept losing the guide star. The object was around 1.5 airmass but it did have a dec -15d so it could be due to that as well. Same thing happened a few days ago with the same star. Closed around 1am and intended to reopened around 4am to get data on a later rising star but overslept.
