Notes from the 4PM Meeting¶
Cristina, Suk Sien Tie, David F., Michael, Manuel
- Camera and Telescope
- All okak; no issues.
- Last Night
- Started flats late last night, then opened late due to clouds. * Beginning and end of night spoiled by clouds, middle good, estimated 40%-50% good data.
- DES-DM and QD
- All data received and processed, processing all caught up. About 50% of data from last night was goo, previous nights were worse.
- TOO
- Observers have GW json files, and know what to do with them.
- Forecast
- No SN are on deadman, and most of the night will be dark. So, obstac will work on g, r, and i wide-feild until the GW TOO, weather permitting.
