WDs photometry, no filter, focus 99335. Could not use the autoguider: guider camera not working even after full restart procedure. Shows a temperature of 1000C, which I believe is slightly overestimated. Is there any other switch at the rack that we are allowed to cycle? If the answer is yes, an update of the README file would be appreciated.

Dead quasar survey. Focus=96500. Guider camera would not respond to exposure commands after first one. Surprise patch of humidity near midnight - I was surprised that the Boltwood sensor did not close the dome before I saw stars dimming in images and checked the other weather stations. An unexpected discovery was that the plots from the TNG weather station use the local time in the browser.

Cyg X-1 monitoring. The humidity was 99% on the ING website, RH at JKT was 82%, so we decide not to open up just in case.

Asteroid photometry wind was marginal at the beginning but calmed down as night progressed. Seeing was horrible all night long.

Wind
WDs observations with autoguider. After stopping for 2.5h due to wind, I was not able to open again the dome (rain sensor was indicating rain, while humidity was around 75%). Bill and Peter dropped-in (thanks again!) to solve the issue. At the end of the night, with the star still at 38 degs, the tracking stopped, and a full reset was needed.
