Observing Summary:

Overall very productive night of observing with good seeing. 

Problem at beginning of the night with guiding and star trails
north/south when pointing at HA~3:50 to the West. 
Justin checked the Dec drive and found no problems. The problem
did not return for the rest of the night although we did not 
point that far west for the remainder of the night. 

We encountered a minor internet glitch when the mountain lost
power. We initially could not get the VNC connection back but a
killall X11vnc cleared the dead connections and we were able
to get back to port 5900.
