Night Assistant:

Also Present: 
Rae Holcomb
Problems: 

Same flakiness with occasional gui freezes. Operated with only the Observer Console on observer2. Used laptop for Kent tools. Had the telescope and instrument/seeing panels on my laptop until that froze up and I had to power-cycle. After that, only Kent tools. It tended to freeze more when switching tabs from System Control to Exposure Control.

Overall, none of this caused any delay or lost time, because it was possible to queue observations in advance.

Comments: 

Good, efficient, productive night with excellent weather.
