Observing Summary:

Finally, a good clear night.  Seeing was poor for the first 
half, though.  A couple of minor glitches:
1) Garage door is stuck, it's open about 10 inches.  
2) Dome TCS monitor is showing garbage.  It's not the monitor,
  I swapped with the other one, same story.
3) Chichon crashed at very beginning, the usual asynchronous
memory fault.  Lost no time.
