DIMM is down so, used RINGSS: note it reports 6 big strange values between 8:28 - 8:36 UT
A reddish sunset, sky looks 'hazy': maybe the smoke of the south forest fires. 
Around 3UT, telescope moves to the West. Stopped the integration @ 1720[s], added a 4['].
Then star oscillates E-W around final position.
'RT Cru' typos so, used CDS coordinates: RA: 12 34 53.736 DEC:  -64 33 56.10
Completed the program with the Sun at -12.2 degrees of altitude.
