Comments: 

DECam Engineering night in the first half of the night. Star flats were not taken because of the clouds. We tested one json script to see how HA keyword loaded in SISPI affects the tracking of the dome and telescope in the OCS. In summary, when the observation enters in the queue the OCS disabled automatically the dome and telescope tracking but they can be manually enabled. The rest of the night we tested the performance of DECam. We also triggered one ToO. Everything went well.
