Night Assistant: 
Claudio Aguilera
Problems: 

At ~UT04:35 the Interlock failed. After a reset, it failed again. We tried a Reset+Configure but it froze. The TO and SA rebooted the SISPI, but it failed again, this time indicating that the DECAL was not ready. Restarting the DECAL solved the problem. Observations resumed at ~UT05:15.
General power failure at UT09h15. Losing the last hour of observations
