Problems: 

1. The ctimac3 shows a spinning wheel after the first target, and is extremely slow. Reboot ctimac3 and lost ~20 mins.

2. The pointing magically is doing very well for the first 13 targets (-46<DEC<+17). No offset is more than 20" till this star below.

Telescope: RA=10:42:33.72, DEC=-33 38 04.3

Next Object: RA=10:42:30.0, DEC=-33:40:16.3

Hour Angle: 00:22:36W

The offset is ~2.3 arcmins and the star is out of FOV.

After this star, the score card is mixed. Two stars are good, and remaining six stars are not good with a few offsets > 3 arcmins.

# The window panel #27 is not closed.
