Problems: 

Tonight was one of those nights. No data. 

00:40 UT ThAr lamps look like zeroes. I restarted Chiron and took tests several times without success. I called Rodrigo Hernandez who kindly guided me to reboot ctioe1 and the torrent.  Roberto also gave me his advice to restart the GUI as now I couldn’t get the Detector controller connected (“attempting communication to DHE”). After multiple attempts to start Chiron GUI,  I called Marco at 03:15 UT. Hernan also came. I followed his instructions but at 4:30UT he concluded it was the shutter and there was nothing that could be done now.

Hopefully tomorrow it can be fixed.

As a consolation it was very cloudy.
