Problems: 

04:30 UT: ZPOINT or problem w/ encoder? RA changed (in header and TCS): check files 1137 (ok) versus 1138!
Stopped 1138 at 25' and verified ZPOINT: apparently spectra are the same and ok.
Summary: file 1138, header and TCS display different RA (~30' diff) but spectra are 'ok'.

08:00 UT OPTGUI frozen once integration starts, rebooted OPTGUI 4 times, OK??? (08:15 UT "ASYNC ERROR, DHE warning AFE2HV-I above allowed range (166.990291 [ps] << chiron") ??? This message keeps appearing after deleted from 'Last Async /  Error'

Comments: 

Beginning of Night: cirrus coming from SW. Also: CTIMAC4 crashed/recovered.
End of night (~08:30 UT) very thin clouds from SW.
DIMM data gaps 00:30 - 00:59, 08:05 - 08:22 UT
More instances of ' dome and telescope out of sync', even once the telescope is in place!
Please reschedule :  'TOI-618'   and   'HD72673'.
Last integration ('gamma Vel') ended with the Sun at -9.1 degrees of altitude.
