Notes:
We had the second half of the night.

Had some issues with WHIRC when I tried to do calibrations around 4 pm MST. Something started over heating and Malanka called for help and Steve (electronic maitenence) came to help. They worked on WHIRC for about 2 hours (I think a third person showed up but we were having Skype issues). WHIRC appeared to be running around 7 pm MST and the first group needed to start. Because WHIRC was having issues, everyone started late. Calibrations taken in the morning.

There were some cirrus clouds moving in and out making it hard to find our guide stars. 

Took  222 images.
