Observing Summary:

Another night of relatively successful remote observing from
Dartmouth. Time was spent trying to narrow down the issue with
the viewing computer claiming there's not enough memory to take
long kinetic series shots.

Turns out that, currently, at 4x4 binning, anything is allowed.
At 2x2 binning, no matter the exposure time, any kinetic length
over 3600 would result in the memory error. This is quite strange,
as only a week ago this problem didn't exist. Not sure what to
say.

Other than that, remote observing's largely been a success.
