. This was an engineering night. During the day Esteban & Javier with remote help from Marco
1. First 2 hours spent debugging and fixing a 4MAP to TCS communication problem
2. In a period of very stable seeing did 30s guided images in all filters in various parts of the sky. Excellent results, NO big differences between g and r filters and the rest, as reported by DES.
3. Then spent much of the rest of the night doing a baseline tracking/guiding performance pior to the damping motor control stsrem upgrade. Grid of 300s guided g band exposures all over the sky. 164151-164181.
