Upon connecting to the telescope control computer, I immediately noticed that it must have been that the prior observer forgot to park the telescope. I found the telescope over at ~+6 hrs stopped at the west limit. I promptly backed off using the ACEpad and immediately moved to zenith. While this did not cause any time loss, It was clear that the prior observer did not finalize the night correctly.

The telescope computer is running pretty laggy. No crashes or anything, just took quite a bit to respond to clicks. It was a beautiful night! Observing a WD, and saw the comet in the webcams thanks to Bill!

Night from VSU; excellent weather, subarcsec seeing(!) if Maxim FWHM is correct. Time series photometry in Luminance 5 filter. Time.is suggests computer clock is off by 4.4 sec. Lots of lag all night.

Telescope computer appeared to have turned off/was unresponsive between closing last night and attempting to connect today. A restart from the switch rack fixed it, and we had no more issues. Observed a pulsating white dwarf.

Our object rose early in the night so we stopped observations ~90 minutes earlier than we probably could have gone. All was well! No problems to report.
