Mac pc for data acquisition is slow, it needs a reboot. I’ll do it tomorrow.
Telescope would drift to the West at times when not guiding (didn’t take notes on the positions).
I run calib2 but the first ThAr image looks like a zero. It seems it was stuck trying to move the slicer. I re-started CHIRON GUI and run calb2 again. It seemed to work this time.

Back to the 1.5m telescope after more than 8 years! (my last night was October 25, 2014). Todd joined me at the beginning and helped me out. I'm a little rusty, but I think I caught on with the system.
Clear night and program was almost completed, one target skipped: HD152268.
I re-took some ThAr lamps because they looked like zeroes at the beginning of the night. Maybe I did something wrong, I’m sorry.
GAI1105+0057_gap faint star for guider and there was no other star available.
No data on dewar pressure. The detector is off.
A note: In the queue ThAr lamps it says 4 sec exposure but when are actually 1 sec exposures.
