Also Present: 
Marisa March, Tim Abbott, Alex Drlica-Wagner, Tyler Pritchard
Problems: 

First half observers got locked out of access from the exposure control twice (once before observing; once near the midpoint). Logging out of DECamObserver and logging back in fixed this issue both times (restarting the GUI alone did not fix the issue).

 

Second half of night:  One exposure lost to guider interlock failure.
