Notes:
Used WTTM on LSQ14fmg, iPTF14gnl, SNhunt206, PSNJ09084248+4448132.

The filter wheel stopped moving twice and had to be restarted. 

The main guider was not responding to commands in the terminal. We lost 50 minutes trying to get it working again. Karen had to call Behzod. 

I took some zeros during calibration because there were new observers in the dome for the first 15 minutes of calibration time and we wanted to make sure everything was running smoothly.

We took 561 images plus 12 zeroes.
