Class observing and standard star field. X-stage guider did not seem to like moving to the W fields. Had to reinitialize. Guiding worked very well. We did reach the horizon limit when trying to slew away from it, but were able to move the telescope with the paddle and slew normally.

Hot Subdwarf stars photometry time series. Focus 134700 at the beginning of the night, and I needed to increase it later. The weather was good but some clouds came during the second half of the night. Telescope was working well.
