Problems: 

Architecture console was not the master console. Hence, we did not have privileges to chabge exposure time of the guider. Klaus helped us via e-mail to recover the master console. When doing that, observer1 computer suddenly shutdown (we are not sure why). System was restarted and everything went back to normal.

Comments: 

Very strong wind with guts of up to 50 mph. We had to close the dome at 9:30pm opened again around 5:00am.
