N , NW winds reached 45 MPH : closed for 25 minutes at 05:30 UT.
Sometimes system takes time to answer a SEND or even a START request.
Object HIP084405 36 Oph A/B: based on PanStarrs chart, pointed to star B.
Seeing based on GUIDER FWHM log: DIMM2 down due to windy conditions.
Around 06:45 07:00 UT awful seeing (not less than 3"!): can't resolve the couple of stars in T0410214986; just pointed the bigger lump.
At 08:05 UT, overcast!. Impacted on T0029960109. Did only 2 out of the 3 requested integrations. Call it a night at 08:35 UT. By 10:00 UT, still overcast.
Skipped T0153065527, T01375 and TIC77156829 (last one, a priority target.)
At closing time found a door that connects to the dome from the West side, wide open by the strong winds. Closed the door and used the safes to avoid a possible new opening. Apparently there was no problems due to that (is the room with the IT equipment, that windows are opened to the West.)
