Problems: 

One OCS interlock error.  This was not able to be fixed with re-configuring, so I restarted SISPI. 

Comments: 

Clouds came and went and came and went again, but mostly came.   We attempted to take data, but the Milky Way was never visible to the naked eye.  Mike guesses 3 magnitudes of extinction at best.
