Who: Andi, Anika, Tom, Sam

Issues:

• • Telescope pointing might be off. apparent zenith DEC was 6 arcseconds off from MRO's official zenith DEC. tried to update coordinates - unsure if it worked

What was done:

• • Wacked some weeds, cleared woody shrubs

  • Checked to make sure issue #23 (ScienceCamera) was truly fixed - it was!

  • Took biases at various temps / cooling settings. Deepcooling seemed to produce most consistent patterns, but, ehh. these images now live in the MRO drive (folder=biases)

Groceries:

• • tons of ice cream

  • frozen brats n buns

  • carrots

  • potatoes

  • parmesan

  • eggs

  • oatmilk

  • pineapple

Need:

• • scissors

  • double A batteries

Water levels:

Inside tank started at 16", left at 16"

One half-full blue jug left under the sink, one full blue jug in the fridge
