Early morning and afternoon calibrations are bad, apparently no counts. Found system 'frozen', likely a problem with the slicer: rebooted chiron. The number of counts ('EMAVGSQ') is low (less than half!) compared to just days ago.
Beginning of night, medium strength south winds impacting guiding on 'Sy Mus' (sky is clear but objects moves over the fiber.)
V1716 Sco a.k.a. Nova 2023 Sco, used SOAR/AEON finding chart. The seeing seems to be very bad.
Chiron frozen at 02:11 UT. Rebooted chiron, OK. File 1127 EM shows 'accum' going up but data was not written to the header. Restarted EM.
Completed the program with the Sun at -8.7 degrees of altitude. No seeing data.
