Problems: 

Switching from the Shen program to Casares, I changed the propid during the last exposure.  I've done this before without a problem, but this time SISPI threw an interlock error and had to be reconfigured.  The green lights on the final exposure did not then turn on, but the image shows up in the inventory, so I think it's OK.

The Goldstein ToO had some minor problems with data transfer rates, although I am not sure if it was from Tololo to Tucson or on from there.  It sped up after half an hour or so under the ministrations of Sean McManus in Tucson.
