00:45 Sky flats. First sequence of r+i, then two sequences of r+z. Seem to be affected by scattered moonlight.
01:10 Collimation
01:20 Copointing. First attempt failed. Trying again.
01:37 First science script (ri_01). Reduced r-band exposures to 3x100 and i to 4x60 to account for moon brightness. DIMM is reading 0.8". Getting more like ~1.0" in r-band and 0.7" in i-band.
02:13 First script finished. Collimating again.
02:19 Starting second script (ri_02). Changed i-band to 3x100 to match r-band, getting ~18K counts background. Now getting 0.6" in i, little better in r but still ~1". frame 02464 on the blue side has some trailing.
03:04 starting third script (ri_03) after another collimation and restarting LBC software to see if older revision fixes trailing issue.

06:55 starting seventh script (rz_04) after another collimation.. Seeing ~0.7" in z band, and ~0.8" in r band.
07:43 starting eighth script (rz_05) after another collimation. Seeing ~0.7" in r and z band.
