Problems: 

Skymap wasn't finished (read comments)

Comments: 

First part of the night we took images with COSMOS with telescope to zenith, with and without vacuum in M2.

Then we started the Skymap. We took some time finding the IMAN field stop. After everything was centered the earthquake activated the breakers and the 4map was off.

The first part of the Skymap was going well. Then we adjusted the focus and M2 get stuck. We tried to move it from the GUI F8SEC and it worked.

After that (we don't know if M2 getting stuck is the reason), we started having problems with lower elevations. We couldn't find the stars. We made Zpoints to zenith, but didn't solve the problem.

After that we decided to continue the skymap only in the positions of higher elevations.
