Date: 
Friday, July 11, 2025
Telescope: 
CTIO Blanco 4-m

Observer Support: 
Hernan Tirado
Night Assistant: 
Roberto Aviles
Also Present: 
Rodrigo Hernandez, Guillermo Damke
Problems: 

A few of sequence observations stopped unexpectedly after taking the first exposure. There seemed to be some sort of timeout error waiting for a command. Nearing the end of the night, we encountered more and more of these aborted scripts, most often ending early at the start or end.
