Problems: 

At the very beginning of the night the guider didn't start.  I thought I had hit the "Connect Guider" button, but perhaps it didn't take.  I aborted the exposure I was taking, and tried again.  The guider still didn't start.  I restarted the GCS role and re-configured.  Then the guider worked.  Time lost was only a few minutes of twilight.

The rest of the night went very well.

Comments: 

This was an AAT night.  The PIs, Dougal Mackey and Gary Da Costa were friendly, professional and competent and nice to work with.  I took data for a photon transfer curve for the DES calibration team during the day.  Unfortunately I forgot to change the prop-id to an engineering prop-id, so these flats went under the 2012B-0623 prop-id.  But the DES team can still access them.
