Engineering Night 16-May-2014:
After LN2 pump change-out and cool-down, tonight was an engineering night in which several engineering tasks were performed.
(i) Test applying the 3sec slew done delay bugfix -- completed by Omar during the day.
(ii) guider-coordinates offset tests: completed --> see elog #195972
(iii) "Giant Donut" inside-outside focus tests for Aaron Roodman: completed --> see elog #195976
(iv) Aberration Map: completed --> see elog #195999 for extensive descriptions.
(v) Focus offsets between various filters and the VR one **not completed* --> these tests were done on 17-March-2014 (analysis by DJJ underway).
(vi) Observe some NEOs off the NEO confirmation page for 2013B-0536 program --> see elogs #196023, #196032 and #196041.
(vii) Observe some "light echoes" fields for 2014A-0327 --> see elog #196044
(viii) Chase an elusive NEO for the NEOwise folks, with propID: 2014A-0640 --> see elog #196125
(ix) Test time to achieve 1-arcmin slews --> extensive testing, see elog #196171
