Observer Support:

Night Assistant: 
Claudio Aguilera
Also Present: 
Niall Maccrann, Hal Spinka
Problems: 
  • TCS had to be restarted at the beginning of the night.
  • Quick Reduce stopped processing exposures a couple times during the night. 
  • DIMM stopped recording FWHM and fluxes at a little before 04:00UT. Yesterday, it stopped recording at about 04:00UT.  Maybe the star it was tracking fell out of range? (It started again around 05:00UT.)
Comments: 
  • Thanks for the rapid turn-around on last night's (Oct 2) network issues!
  • Thanks also for keeping the DIMM running!
  • Great final night of this DES observing shift!
