WD photometry. Bad pixel column showed up again at the beginning of the night for a couple images and again at the end of the night. Tracking also stopped working at the end of the night-- did a hard reset and problem was fixed.

Towards the end of the night, there was a bad pixel column that showed up temporarily. It was only on ~10 images, and then it disappeared.

Clouds
Scattered clouds for much of the night. Lost tracking once when approaching airmass 2 (at about airmass 1.9) in the west at an azimuth of about 280. Telescope would not move in RA at that point. Tried several things, but had to restart the system completely to get tracking and RA motion back.

Connection Issues
We could not establish a connection with the ccd camera, and we had to do full restart. It worked very well after that.
