Date:

Telescope: 
CTIO Blanco 4-m
Submitter: 
Roberto Munoz
Submitter Email: 
rmunoz@uc.cl
Observer Support: 
Alfredo Zenteno
Night Assistant: 
Alberto Alvarez
Problems: 
  1. Power outage between 10:02PM and 10:12PM local time.
  2. DTS node DTS-CT went offline (Alert immediately after resuming observations after power outage); Mike Fitzpatrick was informed at 10:23PM local time and restarted the node immediately.
  3. At UT 6:35 while slewing and starting the observations of SDSSJ0843-0000, there was a problem with the shutter. There was an alarm, the nigh assistant had to solve the problem and we restarted the observations after 1 min ocurred the issue.
Comments: 
  1. BTW, what does "Fsee" mean in the DIMM2 Environment page and how does it relate to the seeing?; there did not seem to be much in the way of documentation for the end-user.
  2. DES night report (first-half program):  http://des-ops.fnal.gov:8080/nightsum/nightsum-2017-01-02/nightsum.html
