Problems: 

Expmeter failed at 0:15 UT (red led in Chiron GUI), init switch didn’t work, I restarted Chiron GUI, but I kept seeing an error message, I pressed the init switch again and that seemed to work.
At the end of the night I saw again at 5:39 UT “GUI ERROR ON COMMAND EXPM send threshold 8000000000.000 … TIME OUT …” What does it mean? How can I correct this? Thanks!.

J110949.35-521018.7 guider failed to keep the star centered ( I used a star in the corner as the target has a close companion), I stopped the exposure (1129) and took another one that should be fine (1130).
