Camera not connecting/could not connect to the observatory. Focusing a bit off. The focus would jump at about a factor of 10. Other than that, smooth observing.

Clouds
Clouds expected until midnight, which was after my primary target would have set, so I offered up the night, but no takers.

Software/Control PC Issues
Perfect night! Observed CVs and CV candidates. Issue on telescope PC: Keyboard input wasn't working properly - I couldn't type numbers or capital letters. Very weird. Had to bring up the virtual keyboard on the PC. Could be issue with my Macbook (though everything worked fine on the camera PC) but I thought I'd report it.

Comet and Massive Star Spectra, M31 H-alpha nova monitoring. Spectra guiding worked very well, did have brief instance of ACE program losing communication with control card (a bit worrisome, it's getting OLD)
