---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===---
        Supernova science (early) and regular survey science (late)
---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===---
Battled clouds for a good part of the night, then highly variable seeing later
on.  We managed to image the supernova stripe over -167  caget tpm_TM_PMSSAvg tpm_TM_TelairAvg.VALA
