Submitter Email:

Observer Support: 
None
Night Assistant:

Also Present:

Problems: 

In the beginning of the night we had a displacement of the star in the guider in DEC of about 1 arcmin, we stopped the observations, centered back the star and started again the observations.

At 00:45 UT we lost the pointing, it was recovered at 00:40 UT.

Comments: 

First night of the Fernando' training.

The program was completed successfully.

Probably the last night tremor caused some problems with the telescope balance. 

TELOPS: Could you check the balance please?
