Observer Support: 
Jacqueline Seron
Night Assistant: 
Claudio Aguilera
Also Present: 
Harold Pena
Problems: 

At the start of the afternoon calibrations we could not start the NOCS.  We kept getting an error message that NOCS was already running.  We shut down the NOCS and restarted, but we continued to get the error message.  We decided to reboot to computers ahich forced an fsck on all of the machines.  It wook about 1/2 hour for the fsck to complete.  Once that as done we could not get the filter wheel, slit wheel, or disperser wheel to move for calibrations.  After some testing we decided to reboot the COSMOS IEB and solved the problem.

Comments: 

Jackie spent the 1st 1.5 hours of the nights working with Omar and Hernan (both in La Serena) to check the guider functions.  Guiding seemed to be working well at the end of the tests. After spent the nights taking spectrophotometric standard stars and training the observer for 2019-06-11 on how to use the instrument.
