Problems: 

None.

Comments: 

Good and stable seeing all night. Science observations for several projects.

We tested remote observing from Fermilab for about two hours at the beginning of the night, with Ting Lee, Doug Tucker and Sahar Allam as remote observers. It went smoothly. Still need to setup polycom and/or Zoom for communication. More tests are planned.

In particular, there was no problem with the Observer Console at the control room after the remote party disconnected (contrary to the incidents experienced last week when there were observations from La Serena and the Observing Console got frozen).
