Date: 
Tuesday, December 22, 2015
Telescope: 
CTIO Blanco 4-m
Submitter: 
J. Allyn Smith, Tim Abbott
Submitter Email: 
smithj@apsu.edu
Observer Support: 
Hernan Tirado
Night Assistant: 
Alberto Alvarez
Problems: 

At ~2350 local the dome became stuck.  One of the motors is mis-aligned.  This will require mechanical support tomorrow to repair.  We are dead for the night.  Lost 2 hours of DES time.

It was possible to make useful observations in the second half following the dome slit in its static position.
