Problems: 

A minor problem at 06:32 UT. There was an interlock alarm about ICS_SHUTTER. The shutter was restarted and the problem solved. We were back in the sky in 2 minutes.

Comments: 

The system worked perfectly well tonight, except for the minor detail explained above. Clear skies, variable seeing.

Thanks to everybody for helping solving the problems that appeared during the first two nights. It was a succesful run!
