Problems: 

Smooth night! 

I would like to remind you about the tracking issue, there is a drift to the west.
In addition, I’ve noticed when not guiding where the fiber is (x=286,y=242) guiding seems to be deficient, I saw the drift to the west. 

Computer room air conditioning went off, so I restarted it. The temperature still hasn’t reached the set value, could someone please check during the day?.

 
Comments: 

Nice run back at the 1.5m telescope, I’m grateful for my colleagues on working on the issues specially electronics and mechanics.

Program completed successfully.

DIMM didn’t work from 0:15 to 1:40 UT. I used RINGSS for the first quarter of the night. And DIMM for the rest of the night.

Target RKS1555-0209, hard to see which star is the target, please clarify, I followed SIMBAD and I chose the one to the North (HD 142661B).
