Technical Observing - LBC IQ Tests 20140318 UT

Observers: JHill, OKuhn, MEdwards (Tucson - remote room)
Telescope Operator: DHuerta (LBTO)

Summary

Wind was high for most of the night.

We qualified the new version of the LBC software and IA software on-sky, so we will keep it in place.

We did not get any data for LBC image quality issues.

John added a pointer to the telescope target to the allsky image in LBTplot.py.
