Problems:
1) We had problems with telescope focus during the beginning of the night. In the end we had to reinilialize the secondary in order to get it to move.
2) Follow is not enabled in te guiding.

It was a very tranquil night. The COSMOS VNC server was not acting as sluggish as it was on 2014-07-11 nor did we have any DHS image readout problems. All DECam windows and displays that were on observer1 on 2014-07-11 were turned off during the day.
We have removed the 4 inch square imaging filters from COSMOS. The Gunn-z filter has been returned to the storage closet on the 2nd floor. The SOAR SOI BVRI filters have been packed in a box for shipment back to Cerro Pachon.
We do not need to keep the instrument cold. It should be allowed to warm up. The NOCS software will be shutdown after taking calibrations in the morning and the vncserver on observer2 will be turned off.
Many thanks to everybody who helped make this engineering block a success.
