UT 04:15 TO1 - N1928 Tolstoy
-----------------------------
Binning 2x2 400Hz.
Longer acquisition due to variable conditions. Waited some time to get
better seeing.

UT 04:50 start science. Conditions variable and not always good.
GSs magnitudes as measured by the RTC: 10.3, 11.4, 10.2

FWHM in open loop on images ~0.65"
TO1_K_o_p0_n0_330_0001.fits Obj - camcao -25,-25
TO1_K_s_p0...4_n0_330_0001.fits Sky - 5 dither positions
TO1_K_o_p0_n0_330_0002.fits Obj - camcao -25,-25 Good conditions.
TO1_K_o_p0_n0_330_0003.fits Obj - camcao -25,-25. Worse
FWHM in open loop on images ~0.7"
TO1_K_s_p0...4_n0_330_0002.fits Sky - 5 dither positions

TO1_K_o_p0_n0_330_0006.fits Obj - camcao -25,-25

UT 06:40 BO3 - N2362 - Bouy
---------------------------

GSs magnitudes as measured by the RTC: 10.0, 9.4, 10.6
BO3_K_o1__p0...26_n0_330_0001.fits Loop opened on exposure p19.
Conditions variable from excellent ~3.5 pixels fwhm, to mediocre (12)
The sequence finished at UT 07:30. We stopped for the zenith
transit. Then resumed for another run to compensate for the variable
conditions with more frames. Nothing else to do in any case.

Second run. We changed NDIT=15 and NINT=2 in order to have more frames
to select from. We also set binning to 2x2 and kept 400Hz correction.
