Problems: 

At 00:05 while moving to PM21182+2148, lost pointing. As reported in previous times, found the telescope tilted in RA (like still on theprevious object.)

 

Comments: 

Was the system restarted in the afternoon? Anyway, now it seems to be OK, the pc guider was very slow so I restarted it.  Display and EXPMETER were down.

File 1120: counts affected for poor guiding (on a dim star): the error is evident in RA! Same sort of poor guiding on GAI2105-3515_gapZ. Solution is to help the auto with the manual guiding!

Instead of lines 23, 24 and 25 I did 24, 23 and 25. I guess that was the right thing to do.

Shortened int time for G2k000668 to 720 seconds: room for eta Car. Ended with Sun at -7.5 degress but etaCar is very brigh and EXPMETER "was OK".

No time left for: HIP31089, T0382437043.
