Primary tabs

Date: 
Saturday, November 10, 2012
Telescope: 
CTIO Blanco 4-m
Submitter: 
R Blum
Observer Support: 
Mauricio Rojas
Night Assistant: 
Alberto Alvarez
Also Present: 
D Norman, A Saha, R Blum
Problems: 
The night report date is one day ahead in date. Working with DW to re-phase. 0330 Guider read/exp goes into loop. We eventually have to kill sispi and restart (full kill restart via vnc to system1). We lose 1 hr to this. Klaus had to help us restart at transition due to guider trouble. This is probably the same fundamental error.
Comments: 
New restrictions on sky flats and new procedures with respect to protecting DECam during the non-observing hours of the day were received and discussed. Close at 0544 am local time. Taking flats.
