Observing Summary:

Great night on sky. 
Essentially no clouds and good seeing throughout (between ~1.4 and ~1.75).
Some issues with IRAF and imexam where it appears the VNCviewer thinks were entering repeated  r  or  e  calls when we type the number, then VNCviewer freezes and needs to be closed and restarted.
Tracked into west limit but was able to move telescope within limits using the paddle.
