Problems: 

HDD of the Linux / TCS machine seems to be broken, it is not booting. Humberto Orrego have the details.

Comments: 

- Found both the telescope and dome pointing away from the zenith. After recovering those positions found that, anyway, the Linux/TCS machine is down.

- CHIRON afternoon calibrations failed after the file number 54 (out of the 116 expected.) CHIRON was FROZEN, restarted it.

- Restarted CHIRON, did some tests in Slicer as well as in Fiber mode, the system seems to be fine (check files test*fits.) However number of 'counts' (EMAVGSQ) a bit unstable.

- Left the morning calibrations (CALIB2) running as a way to stress / test the CHIRON system.

- DIMM and / or RINGSS are (apparently) down.
