CTIO Blanco 4-m

Observer Support:

Night Assistant: 
Claudio Aguilera
Also Present: 
Dara Norman
Problems: 
* We loose again telescope air bag support in several occasions (at least 5), but were put back on track by Claudio & Mauricio. * Many interlock errors went off (at least 8), randomly all night long, starting around 3:00, for the GCS and OCS. Were fixed by the book, but many pointings in the programs get dropped, making them incomplete.

Comment: 
Seeing was ok, then bounced between 0.8 and 1.5 back and forth, affected by mediocre tracking/guiding, mostly when pointing north
