Summary
----------------------------------------------------------------------


a dry, slightly cirrusy, steady night with highly variable seeing. the big achievement was fixing the pointing model finally. there's still room for a bit of improvment, but we're now consistently within 20" in our open loop pointing and much of the error appears to be a constant elevation offset. will tweak that out and implement for tomorrow night.

some technical problems cost part of the first half, but got some data for 2011-3-DC-005 and 2011-3-RSA_IUCAA_OTH-011 in the 2nd half. also got some pointing data to check my work.
