Connection Issues
Could not connect to the CCD computer-- tried several times. Tried resetting the outlets, through the observatory computer, as well but that did not help.

Connection Issues
Observing white dwarf W 0420-478. Issues: telescope computer kept disconnecting and then would freeze. Ra and Dec were only visible, hit esc and it went away. However, it would still freeze so it would take a while for it to go to original format.
