Problems: 

Chip N10 continues to have the same problem as previous nights.

During the midpoint changeover, user error resulted in the 1st 3 exposures having the wrong prop-id (2012B-001).  Rapidly increasing clouds mean the data would have been useless anyway.

Comments: 

After 1 hour during DES time, decided to close and try a DECal scan of the r filter.  Some miscues getting the prop-id correct but scan was completed.
