Problems:
A couple of software glitches. The guider GUI on observer1 would not show the guide stars or provide any feedback about the guiding, even though this seemed to be proceeding normally and producing images of good quality. The quick look reduction would not work. Also, the telescope operating software did not seem to recognize the specification "CenterCCD" from the script editor. I was specifying coordinates to be at the center of N4 but they were being centered at the middle of the focal plane, in the gap between S4 and N4. Worked around this by incrementing all target positions by 5' north...
Otherwise a very smooth night.
