Problems: 

Lost ZP and time because: TCS writes RIGHT RA coords to header BUT in the TCS the RA is wrong (19... instead of 20...) Same as yesterday, telescope @ (1.005 airmasses.) File chi240909.1128 might be wrong or we lost the pointing right at the end of the integration.

Calibration lamp Th-Ar + slicer, line 16 of queue, did not work. It also did not work from 'preset modes / script'. Reboot of CHIRON OPTGUI at 23:28CLT 

Comments: 

RKS2256+1727 : used B as guiding star but A-B are too close plus the sky is cloudy.

<<<Skipped NSS0205-6914AB because of the bad weather conditions>>> After midnight most likely S/N too low or useless.

Comment: 
BON, cirrus, thin clouds. Around midnight, pointed to NSS2231+2403AB and then I did wait for almost 30 minutes for better weather conditions. Despicable weather.
