Observers for 20/11/2017 (shadowing: Luigi Cerulo Ricardo Demarco, Daniela)
Problems: 

SISPI went offline UT 01:08 (exposure 697907), needed to be restarted. Back online at 01:37 UT, but then went down again at 01:47 UT (exposure 697912). Back again at 02:20 UT (exposure 697914) and then offline again at 02:59 UT. Back again at 03:16 UT, but stopped transferring data until Mike Fitzpatrick restarted system at ~04:00 UT. Transfer issues to observer 2 persisted, could not load images on bigload or access center for repointing using kentools for the rest of the night.

RASICAM is also down due to network issues across the mountain. Webcams working, as is DIMM. Checked sky manually periodically.
