Observing Summary:

A nice night.  Completed all the events for tonight a bit early.  When
attempting to home the dome, the dome did not stop at the right position
and instead kept going round and round.  I managed to stop the motion by
putting in a new command to set to a specific azimuth. I contacted Justin
at the 2.4m, and he closed the dome for me.  No observing time lost.
