Observer Support:

Night Assistant: 
Claudio Aguilera
Problems: 

Comercial power outage at 11:30pm local time.  We switched to the generator with no problems.  We lost about 20min is this because we lost the guide stars and pointing during the initial outage.  

The only other problem occurred during the switched observing programs at the night center from N2015A-0371 to N2015A-0632.  This was caused by observer error.  On the observer console system control the observer tried to use a proposal ID of N2015A-0632.  This caused a setup and interlock failure.  The correct proposal ID was 2015A-0632 (no leading "N").  We lost about 10min with this problem. 

The Tololo seeing monitor went offline after the power outage and was still down at the end of the night.
