Another good night of NEWFIRM engineering.

Comments: 

Focus script wasn't working from the GUI at the beginning of the night so we ran it from the command line. Marco debugged this.  Some striations in images that may be indicative of readout problems.  Also, the script for the end of the night did not close the covers.  We closed them using the NICC GUI interface.
