Clouds
Clouds prevented opening observatory. The telescope was found at the opening of the night to be parked at zenith rather than the recommended telescope stow position.

Software/Control PC Issues
Observed an asteroid. At first, connector client wouldn't start on the camera computer. We took calibrations, focus images, and some preliminary data using the telescope computer. Peter Mack assisted and found an issue with the registry. Everything went smoothly after the issue was resolved. Good focus at 125973.
