Problems:
# Before observations began, the dome encoder readout stopped working. TelObs fixed this by re-booting the encoder readout computer. This is now working fine.
# The afternoon dome flats were taken, however the images from the flats are not in the expected foulder on observer2. We have not been able to run "flatcheck."
# RASICAM was not responding at the beginning of the night. TelObs went out and re-booted it. It is now working.

# At the beginning of the night, the total seeing was terrible. The DIMM seeing was as high as 3.8. Seeing is improving, but is still not very good.
# The primary mirror was hotter than the low dome for most of the observing night. This contributed to the bad seeing for the night.
