Date: 
Monday, November 25, 2013
Telescope: 
CTIO Blanco 4-m
Submitter: 
Alberto Alvarez
Submitter Email: 
rmunoz@astro.puc.cl
Observer Support: 
Hernan Tirado
Night Assistant: 
Alberto Alvarez
Problems: 

From the experience of two previous nights and afternoon tests, we knew the hexapod system was not working properly.
Techinal problems didn't allow us to do any observation during the third night of the run.
The scientific goals of the program are sevely compromoised and we see no solution in the short term.
Astronomer didn't like it the idea of lossing three nights of his run, but he understand how serious is the problem.

Comments: 

The nigh started with no clouds and no thick clouds were visible during the night (visual inspection). We don't have an estimate of the seeing.
The wind was fast at the beggining of the night.
