run009   ES Cet   30/12/2013   19:42:16 22:58:26 3917 data 4-WIN 1830.5 3005.4 u' g' r' 2 512 x 300 1, 513 3 512 x 470 1, 513 549 2 x 2 CDD 8C0000 -40,-40,-40 1100 W/2013B/33 Copperwheat spl,lkh 100222   run009   Tweaking focus at beginning, converging on 97.8 as the best focus. Some clouds for the first 30 minutes, but clearing up. After 50 mins clouds come back again. At 70mins we change the focus again to 78.85. By 80 minutes in (21:00) the clouds get thicker and thicker and by 21:15 the lightcurve is almost useless. Started to improve after 150mins and end of run is quite useful. Stopped to switch to Ian Smail's program given improving seeing.
