Observer Support:

Night Assistant: 
Alberto Alvarez
Also Present: 
Kathy Vivas
Problems: 

General internet outage. Zoom connection was lost. Fortunately we were observing via Keeper and that connection was not lost. After a while however SISPI started to give errors (can't communicate with shutter). Interlocks were usually cleared with a Configure, although a SISPI restart was needed in one instance. It was suspected that this was due to network problems. When finally the internet was recovered, all worked fine.

 

Comments: 

We tested remote observing with Keeper tonight. Petri Garagorry and Chris Morrison were present. It was a positive experience although we took note of several details that need to be solved before launching this mode of observation.

There were no problems for the second half of the night.
