Comments: 

. This was an engineering night.  During the day Esteban & Javier with remote help from Marco

1.  First 2 hours spent debugging and fixing a 4MAP to TCS communication problem

2.  In a period of very stable seeing did 30s guided images in all filters in various parts of the sky.   Excellent results, NO big differences between g and r filters and the rest, as reported by DES.  

3.  Then spent much of the rest of the night doing a baseline  tracking/guiding performance pior to the damping motor control stsrem upgrade.  Grid of 300s guided g band exposures all over the sky.  164151-164181.
