Problems: 

RASICAM stopped updating for about an hour. Alberto managed to restore connection. 

No DIMM measurements since ~2:50 UT (about midnight local time).

At about 6 am local, lost 6 minutes when DECALS crashed (no update on flat field lamp status).

Comments: 

Microwave in control room kitchen has stopped working.

RASICAM looks like it needs a new flat field. 

Latest TASCA image is from July 21, 2015.
