Night Assistant: 
Claudio Aguilera
Also Present: 
Adam Wright
Problems: 

Just a small issue: the GuiderGUI (in a TigerVNC window) stopped showing images of the guide stars (but the guider kept guiding). Even after a few hours, it did not restart showing images. We wanted to restart it, but could not find instructions for how to do so.

Comments: 

On the guider issue: since losing the guide stars is the most frequent alarm, but there's nothing to be done about it, maybe it could get a different alarm sound from the more serious alarms?
Also, once it has lost the guide stars, why is it not possible to "re-connect" during the same exposure?
