YALO Nightly Observing Report for 1999 Nov 18

Observer: Juan Espinoza
Observed all night from 0000 to 0845 UTC.
Conditions were Photometric most of the night.
Problems were encountered, see the summary for details.

Seeing and Weather:
   Beg: Seeing 1.4 arcsec, Clear, Winds Calm
   Mid: Seeing 1.4 arcsec, Clear, Winds Light & Variable
   End: Seeing 1.4 arcsec, Clear, Winds Light & Variable

Observing Summary:


The skies were verry clear from beginning to end but we did have clouds
at the beginning of the night in the far distance ( to the East, above 
the mountains) and they they moved away wich is why I considered this 
to be a photometric night.

Program completed except for 2mass2223 because of technical reasons
(OHIO ftp area is out again) so I wasted some time trying to figure out
what to do, in the end I ended up calling Rene M. and he told me that
it was Ok not to do it.  Other than that we had great seeing for the entire
night and I didn't die doing it (almost though).

Dear queue managers, as most of you must have gotten my email regarding
Nick S. SN1999ek  I've come to realize that it was not observed
in Nov 2 as they believe and as I mentioned in my note, it is verrry important
to them that monitoring begins as soon as possible.

As far Rene Mendes' targets goes, he mentioned to me that it would
be ok if only one (or maybe two) could be observed according to his
proposal.

We had one computer crash during calibratrions but none during the night
wich is great!

cheers.
