Problems: 

At 23:50 UT and 00:15 UT, telescope fails to move to requested target. 2nd time found tel pointing N, target was E!  Pointing + trouble moving East, even with the hand paddle. Lost 30-45 minutes.

Comments: 

Clear except for some clouds moving E to W and back. DIMM closed due to high winds. Third and fourth night quarter, used the guider FWHM to estimate the seeing.

While closing the dome shutter, it did not run for a while, then there was a noise ("snap") and it completed the normal closing. 

Completed all the program.
