GN-2008A-Q-8-4-003 2008-02-14 11:12:48 The cirrus is definitely much thinner that it was when the standard star was taken.
GN-2008A-Q-8-4-004 2008-02-14 11:23:29 Sky continues to clear, but from the guide trace there is still occastionally some cloud passing overhead so we will stay here for the time being.
GN-2008A-Q-8-4-005 2008-02-14 11:34:12 more guide count fluctuations but still well withing CC70.
GN-2008A-Q-8-4-007 2008-02-14 11:49:25 this exposure has significantly more clouds, CC90 at best. Setting to USABLE.
GN-2008A-Q-8-4-008 2008-02-14 12:12:34 Resumed observation after waiting for clouds to pass but they came back through midway through the exposure. This observation is on the edge between CC70 and CC90, I'll pass it for now but if I get another exposure that's this affected by clouds I will take another image to compensate and bring up the signal to noise.
GN-2008A-Q-8-4-009 2008-02-14 12:23:16 The counts were quite low for much of this exposure then they came up at the end. I'll set this one to USABLE and add another exposure to compensate.
GN-2008A-Q-8-4-011 2008-02-14 12:38:29 counts started back up at max and fluctuations were much less severe, staying within CC70 until the last 30 sec when the dropped again, paused the sequence again and waited for the counts to come back up.
GN-2008A-Q-8-4-012 2008-02-14 12:49:34 more thick clouds in this exposure, borderline CC70
GN-2008A-Q-8-4-013 2008-02-14 13:00:16 once more thick variable clouds interspersed with relatively clear patches. Since this exposure and 245 make up another pair of borderline CC70 observations I'll mark this one USABLE and take another to compensate.
GN-2008A-Q-8-4-015 2008-02-14 13:36:01 highly variable counts for the first half but clear skies for the last two minutes.
GN-2008A-Q-8-4-016 2008-02-14 13:46:43 counts were much more stable for this exposure, decreased throughout but never fell below 67% of max. CC70.
GN-2008A-Q-8-4-017 2008-02-14 13:57:25 counts were stable for the first 3 minutes then rose during the last 2 minutes. Solidly CC70.
