Esteban, David, Mauricio, Jorge, and Alberto worked tirelessly all day (starting at 6 AM and finishing after dinner!) to try and repair the NESLAB failure, which caused the MONSOON crates to warm up at the end of our night last night. However, a series of cascading failures resulted in their having to warm DECam up, for investigation tomorrow. Thanks very much to the CTIO staff for their incredible hard work and dedication! The people here are what makes this place great.
