ENR CTIO Blanco 4-m 2015-04-17

Date: 
Friday, April 17, 2015
Telescope: 
CTIO Blanco 4-m
Submitter: 
Lori Allen
Submitter Email: 
lallen@noao.edu
Observer Support: 
Hernan Tirado
Night Assistant: 
Claudio Aguilera
Also Present: 
David James
Problems: 

1) The data transfer rate from CTIO to La Serena was a bottleneck in our near-real-time processing, running behind by up to nearly three hours. 

2) 4maps went offline twice. Total time lost to these two instances was ~18 minutes.

3) Focal plane temperature t3 bounced around erratically most of the night (+/- 2 deg C). Not obvious that this had an adverse effect on the data but thought it should be mentioned.
