Problems:
Telescope got stuck in a limit when trying to align the flat field lamps.
The door into the lower pier area got stuck closed as if it were locked, but there is no lock! There is a problem with the door knob (esta cerrado como con llave, pero no hay una llave ...). Thanks to Alberto for telling me where the Tololo Master Key was. I retreived it and opened the back door (with difficulty, era dificil). The Master is in the 0.9m consola.
There are three very bright lights in the mine at Andacollo. They cast my shadow on the 0.9m building.

Thin cirrus and clear 1st half. Got thicker and eventually opaque by 230 am.
Comparing flat images to similar from February, it looks like the filters may be more dusty. Please clean the filters if they were not already cleaned.
