Comments: 

- 00:38 UT Fails to START exposure (found in logs: "Initializing EM...ERROR command INIT rejected on state IDLE" + "setting detetcor speed ...+ ERROR 111 writing_message positioning slicer motor to slicer position"): rebooted optgui 3 times ("wait port 5325." + same slicer error and others.) Once OPTGUI was ok, DS9 did not open from VI, started it from CL. Also, tel jumped W, so added extra 60 [s] to first exposure. After the succeeding 3rd reboot, first exposure time freezes in 12.93 [s] while counter in "panview debug chiron" was running fine. 
- 02:55 UT Found air conditioning unit at 35C (it was 18.) Put it back to 18C (mode cold), slowly goes down to 10 and after a while it jumps to 35 C.
- G2K000985 is a double, "both" in the fiber.
- Last integration on Alpha Cen B ended at 09:17 UT, Sun at -9.4 degrees.
