Problems: 

No major problems.

We restarted IB1-IB5 (all of them) at the beginning of the night (IB3 was "error" and the rest were "waiting" perpetually).  After we restarted everything behaved well.  

Comments: 
We noted that it would be very useful if Guider GUI could show flux of stars vs. time (to check for cirrus ,for example).
