[Comm2011] commissioning log day 3

[Konrad Kuijken]

Hi all,

it would be great if someone could try to make image mosaics of the  
three fields we observed in 3 colours last night: wCen, M17,  
Hercules00. (gri). Who takes the lead on that?
By the end of this week we need to know whether there is enough data  
for the press release that ESO is coordinating with us. We will try to  
get a little more on the Leo triplet.
Also did the polar field (photons skiing on the dome of UT4 I  
suspect!) and one of the standard fields.
Note that for part of the night the telescope was not sending info to  
the headers, so no RA,DEC, etc... they don't call this commissioning  
for nothing!

Cheers
Koen
