 Start an observing report 
 In this observing log write down comments about the weather,
 equipment problems, etc., and update the file during the night with
 the evolution of the weather. For example, if cirrus showed up sometime
 during the night, you have to indicate the UT when this happened. 
 If you didn't have problems, make an explicit note in the log.


 Take calibration frames (bias, domeflats, and skyflats), inspect them, 
     and report your comments in the observing log, especially if something
     unusual happens.

 Transfer data to csp3 and record data into a DVD.
     For more information about burning DVDs click here.

     telescope ID, instrument, observation date, observers's name, 
     and the label "RAW".
