Observing Summary:

There were no issues at beginning of the night. Today we were 
taking data of Prof. Thorstensen's objects. Around 23:30 
(after we stopped tracking) we slewed to a telescope and tried
 to pick a guide star but the camera control panel in MaximDL 
didn't allow the user to click stop or start. Prof. Thorstensen 
then tried to disconnect and reconnect the camera but received 
an error  Error opening camera, camera settings incorrect.  
He then tried to restart MaximDL but the issue prevailed. There 
were more attempts on site at the 1.3m, but there seemed to be
 no solution. Thus we shut down early.  

Dewar refilled when we closed, at midnight.
