Problems: 

- 05:54 UT Fails to START exposure on T0467281353, rebooted OPTGUI many times (once finally back, no TCS data and when finally connected, no exposure parameters (usually set by NOS ) so, set it by hand.) Problem: Looks like the Slicer_iout mode was not correctly set ("undef" instead of Slicer_iout.) Later noted size of resulting images is way bigger than expected. Check 210129031805_ios.log: "ERROR 111 writing_message". Then ThAr lamp fails to start even from the pull up menu. At 06:45 UT, new reboot of OPTGUI, did not help, rebooted DHE, that worked and lamp was finally acquired.

Comments: 

- A/C unit mask (evaporator) frozen: turn it OFF to allow the ice melt. Once back and in AUTO mode, set to 18C, after a while jumps to 35C. If in COLD mode it starts producing ice. 

- All the program + repeated T0467281353 BUT ... integration fails to START once AGAIN!, rebooted OPTGUI, ok. Completed last integration at 09:27 UT, with the Sun at -9.2 degrees (object was looking W.)
