Observer: Kara Ponder
Telescope Operator: Krissy Reetz
Conditions:
wind: 20 mph 
Humidity: 66 %
Temperature: 9.3
Seeing: 1"
Moon: 100%

Notes:
We had the first half of the night. Data is in "Ponder" directory.

Very cloudy all night. Kept losing the guide star. 

Not sure how usable these host galaxy templates are. SN2012gm gave seeing ~.6. I could not see anything for PTF12ikt and we had to stop the dither scripts prematurely because we lost guiding.

After observing SN2012gm, we lost guiding on all of the SNe that were planned for the night so we slew the telescope around to all of the host galaxies to try to find a star bright enough to guide on.

Took 355 images.
