Problems: 

None.

We want to note that we have seen a few "Dome Occlusion Warnings" each night. Always in the north.

The warning typically goes off right as the exposure starts, but with the dome already moving out of the way. So we have logged the alarms, but not reported them as an issue.

In only one case (tonight) did we notice a reduction in throughput (z band from 1.0 to 0.94) because the dome took long enough to get out of the way. See image 830687.
