WIYN 3.5m WHIRC Observing Report for  2012/11/25

Summary:
Excellent seeing.  The connection was slow on my end but did not cause too
much trouble thanks to Jenny.  She kept an eye on the focus and helped
load the dither scripts which was a tremendous help!  There was also some
confusion on which computer I would be observing from.  The wrong IP
address was listed for me but we were able to get in touch with Heidi and
she explained to Jenny over the phone how to edit my IP address.

Observed std. star P525-E and P161-D at three different airmasses, 11SN
and 1 host galaxy.
I made the decision not to observe LSQ12fhs at the beginning of the night
so that we could observe 2012go instead.  I probably should have tried to
squeeze it in as I had about an hour left at the end of the night.  So I
ended the night with observing the host of PTF11owc in H.

Observe: Anja Weyant
Telescope Operator: Jenny Power
Conditions:
Clear/light cirrus
Moon almost full

Notes:

There is a weird grid pattern showing up in the detector when taking darks
or flats with the lamp off.  It does not show up in any science images but
I took a series of darks at the end of the night that we can use to take
the signal out.

Because of the light cirrus we may not be photometric but I observed the
std. stars anyway.  This cleared up by the middle of the night so some of
the later observations should be photometric.

I used the 5x5grid_15arcsec.obs, 4x4grid_20arcsec.obs and
3x3grid_30arcsec.obs.

For 2012go I forgot to change the target name.  It says P525-E.
