ENR CTIO Blanco 4-m 2013-03-01

Date: 
Friday, March 1, 2013
Telescope: 
CTIO Blanco 4-m
Submitter: 
Peter Williams
Submitter Email: 
pwilliams@cfa.harvard.edu
Observer Support: 
Mauricio Rojas
Night Assistant: 
Leonardo Paredes
Problems: 

Rebooted the telescope control system in the afternoon (as requested by staff) and it did not come back up 100% cleanly. We needed to restart the OCS role and reload a few of the user interface components.

General UI interaction on the observer2 machine started out extremely slow. Solved by logging out and logging back in.

A few issues with OCS interlock failures at the beginning of the night. Since we figured out how to recover from these quickly the previous night, no time was lost. One or two crashes of the Chrome browser frame for the Observer Console, fixed just by reloading the page.
