Observing Campaign 103 finishes with an excellent night and rounds out an extremely productive eight nights of blazar monitoring. The sky was photometric until a little after 0100 local time when thin wisps of cirrus from an approaching storm system drifted over the observatory. These had nearly no impact on observations except to shift some photometry of targets into the clear period after the initial clouds. About 20 blazars were observed in seeing of 1.6-3 arcsec. The last night of the campaign was very well timed since much thicker cloud cover and possible snow is set to move in just after daybreak.
Campaign 103 concludes the scheduled observations for the Steward Observatory/Fermi monitoring program in 2017. The next campaign will start in mid January 2018
at the Kuiper Telescope, but then quickly switch over to the Bok
Telescope on Kitt Peak, Arizona. Have a wonderful holiday season.
