Night Assistant:

Problems: 

There was a chicken! my notes on this below. 

01:36 UT—pointing correction of +10, 0

768990 may have pointing correction issue

 

chicken sound at 01:38 UT, Hernan restarted TCS in response to this; unclear what caused the problem

 

lost about 10 minutes to this--I reported that below as 0.25 hours lost to technical because that was smallest unit.

 

last position before chicken was 21:35:??, -04:04:44 (both in HMS)

Comments: 

None. Only problem was our scrambling to reorganize our plans to deal with chips being out; the scrambling caused some chaos with our scripts but I wouldn't call that a problem with the instrument!
