Observing Summary:

I encountered one problem during the night: the tilt sensors
and the control system did not agree about where the zenith was.
This was no doubt caused by the frequent powering-down in the last 
few days.
A big thanks to John T. for showing me how to solve the problem.

The seeing was great throughout the night and the only cloud 
difficulties were encountered to trying to do twilight flats 
in the evening.

Observed NGC 6779 all night.
