P330-E in JHKs at 1.0 and 1.3


Observer: Kara Ponder
Telescope Operator: Dave Summers
Conditions:
wind: 10 mph
Humidity: 30
Temperature: 17.6 
Seeing:  2.0+
Moon: 100%

Notes:
This was a second half night awarded to us last week as they did not expect the T&E to last the full night.

Dave probably has food poisoning, but he made it through the night.

We were able to use WTTM at the beginning of the night with a seeing of 1.4, but when the seeing got above 2 arc seconds, we could not hold the guide star. It stayed above 2 arc seconds for the rest of the night and went up to 3 arc seconds for at least an hour.

We had some confusion over offsets after WTTM lost guiding so they may stack oddly. 

Twice I pressed "e" into the integration time instead of ds9, so occasionally it skipped a few spots in the dither pattern. I tried to take that into account when calculating the total time on the target.
