Several SISPI errors see comments
Comments: 
No dome flats were taken due to problems with our ability to login to control SISPI. Klaus and Ann assisted in killing rouge shutter processes that were left over. It would be very helpful to have better documentation so time is not lost trying to find the proper person to ask about problems There were MANY problems with SISPI errors that resulted in lost data files. Most of these were ‘donut’ errors details are recorded in the elog. DJN&AK got very fast at correcting the donut errors.
