Problems: 

Tried to open at 04:00.  NEWFIRM environmental cover states that there is an error for "Bad Switches State". We tried cycling the power of the NICC and then opening the environmental covers again, but we still have the same error.  In order to see if the covers were open, we pointed to a field toward the galactic center and still did not see any stars in the detectors with 5s and 20s exposures. Given the time 05:00 we called it a night so we can try to test opening the environmental covers in the morning.
