Problems: 

No issues with NBTW. Leonardo and I (mostly Leonardo) worked to get all connections working between the CHIRON database, CHIRON, and the TCS.  All links worked tonight --- I could click on the Scheduler queue list, the target and coordinates were delivered to the TCS, and CHIRON also picked up the parameters for the exposures.  This all worked well until the final observed object, when CHIRON got confused about the coordinate delivery for the first ThAr lamp and a reboot was required.  All bits were then entered by hand, as was done for the first 4 nights.

Comments: 

Program not quite completed successfully.  Leonardo is on to me, so he packed the schedule.  The final two targets were not observed, given some time lost at the beginning of the night working on all the connections and the one time CHIRON got lost and had to be rebooted before the final object.
