Problems: 

6:05 UT I lost vnc viewers for guider and Chiron GU. I got the message “Could not find server with the name ctioe1”. I restarted ctimac3 thinking that maybe the vnc server was running there and would restart also but no. Afterwards I noticed that it was the internet that was not working in ctiomac3, I unplugged and plugged the LAN cable and voila. I don’t know how this happened as I didn’t come near the cables at all.

 
Comments: 

Difficult night, lots of clouds, moonlight and the internet issue. Targets skipped: HIP060633, RKS1710-7540.

All priority targets observed.

Stopped observations at 3:40 UT because it was partially overcast, no targets available. At 4:05 I resumed observations, it got better after 5:00 UT.
