Also Present:

Problems:
1) The data transfer rate from CTIO to La Serena was a bottleneck in our near-real-time processing, running behind by up to nearly three hours.
2) 4maps went offline twice. Total time lost to these two instances was ~18 minutes.
3) Focal plane temperature t3 bounced around erratically most of the night (+/- 2 deg C). Not obvious that this had an adverse effect on the data but thought it should be mentioned.
