Observer Support: 
Leonardo Paredes
Night Assistant: 
Alberto Alvarez
Also Present: 
David Rojas
Problems: 

SISPI computers powered off and fscked in the mnorning.   System1 lost its DNS table and quick1 would not allow its directories to be accessed.   Quickly fixed by the CISS gurus,  

DECal network switch for the spectrometer was disconnected from the net.  Discovered when starting DECal scans in the evening,   David and Leonardo fixed.

Comments: 

 Bad weather, started to clear at 03:30 am when we opened.    David James made a fine Y band scan with DECal.   After that spent 3.2 hours doing 4MAP "hysterisis" scans.  Final 45 min long exposures to exercise guider, clouds coming back.
