- 23:57 UT Fails to START integration on T0170729775, BINNING not defined; also, we can't close PI_GEOMETRY.vi (same happened later.) Rebooted OPTGUI, ok.
- 00:26 UT Fails to START integration on T0001167538, binning, rebooted 3 times, ok
- File 1119, ThAr lamp but looks like a bias, renamed as JUNK. Lamp 1120 ok
- 00:54 UT Fails to START integration on T0031114545, binning, rebooted OPTGUI, ok
- 01:31 UT Fails to START integration on A071750_13, binning, rebooted OPTGUI, ok
- Telescope drifts, like a ~ 10 arc sec jump to E; or maybe guiding? Low wind.
- File 1150 a ThAr lamp, looks like a bias. Repeated, file 1151 is ok. And Tel drifts E, can't guide (HA ~ 1.5 hours.) And is unable to reach an object at HA <2.5 hours E.
- Object TOI-2485 less than 1 hour 11 min East, cannot auto guide because the telescope drifts, suddenly jumps ~10 " or more out of the guiding box so, guiding by hand.
- Note the blue background white font log window is not being displayed in spite of clicking on the trunk. Awful night, the telescope shakes too much.
- 09:00 UT Exposure on delta Cir frozen at 128 seconds, CHIRON issue. Rebooted OPTGUI, ok: MESSAGE was  "05:57:46 LT ERROR TIMEOUT (from panview core) "
- No time for 6247340788886584064.Tel shakes much while pointing E.
- Please please change the graphic resolution of the ctioe1 VNC!
- Completed last integration with the Sun at -9.7 degrees of altitude.
