There does seem to be a color difference, stronger in blue end. Variable smoke likely. a035-37 KAZ102 600 1.13 4:00 66 SNR=25 Looks better in the division, but some clouds, no smoke? a038-41 3C390.03 500 1.29 4:47 66 SNR=18 a042-47 S52116+81 300 1.33 5:25 65 SNR=7 Need to up the exposure time for this one. a048-52 BD+28d4211 60 1.04 6:03 65 Seeing is 1.2 arcseconds!!! Take 5 exposures to look for smoke. I don't see clear evidence for smoke!!! Go go go! Or maybe just smoke is relatively stable...must be cautious. a053-55 2MASXJ1937-0613 400 1.63 6:14 65 SNR=20+ a056-59 2MASXJ2109-0940 300 1.6 6:40 63 SNR=20 a060-63 PG2214+139 300 1.12 7:04 63 SNR=25 a064-67 BD+28d4211 60 1.03 7:28 62 a068-70 MR 2251-178 400 1.92 7:40 62 SNR=25 Note the double narrow lines, Chandra target next month a071-73 NGC 7469 200 1.18 8:05 62 SNR=40+ a074-76 IIIZw2 900 1.18 8:19 63 SNR=20+ Second exposure object came out of slit a little.

Seems ok later in the night, but might only be short-term stable. NGC 985? Add 0155 back in this year?
