Observer Support: 
Clara Martinez-Vazquez
Night Assistant: 
Alberto Alvarez
Also Present: 
Rodrigo Hernandez, Hernan Tirado
Problems: 

At ~midnight DECalS began issuing exceptions alerts. Observations halted while Alberto, Rodrigo, & tried to fix the problem - problem solved by disabling DECalS in OCS in Architect Console.

Comments: 

Seeing bad - working hypothesis: too many people on the mountain :)

Night proceeded smoothly until midnight. ~35 minutes lost to technical issue.

Frther run of timeseries exposures for MISHAPS, plus a test exposure in each filter when the seeing got better in order to have test data to build SED analysis around.
