Observing Summary:

We had some issues with the panel control while we were 
checking the telescope pointing using a star close to zenith  
(see trouble report). Night started with few cirrus, low wind 
and high humidity. At UT 03:14 we got an error message about 
TCS link not enabled while calling doagn (see trouble 
report). At UT 04:26 we closed the dome due to high humidity. 
We opened again at 11:26 but telescope pointing was off 
(we needed to reset coordinates). We managed to observe 2 
targets and 2 standards.
