Notes from the 4PM Meeting¶

The telescope is back to 2 encoders. Data is still be transferred, 290 left to go. But are caught up from the weekend. NO SN manifests are delivered. It is possible for DESDM to use the spare C1g-band. SN previous night 9/18 x1 images are terrible. Marisa declared them junk. C1g from last night has 2 possibilitites for g-band.

The weather is perfect. No ToO. Bright early on. Dark late in the night. Let's be careful out there.
