Problems:
The hexapod went offline at UT~7:00. It stopped updating the new focus positions and as a result the telescope gradually drifted out of focus. Once it came back online it maintained the bad focus, i.e. it could not re-establish a good focus but it did not get any worse. Andrea Kunder and Mauricio Rojas were contacted and they restarted SISPI and the hexapod was able to re-focus.
The Architect Console GUI timed out and would not reload. We fixed this by copying the web address from the Chrome address bar and pasting it into a NEW window. This seems to consitently work if the page has timed out and is preferable to trying to reload the page using the 'reload' option on the Chrome toolbar.
