The sky was partially cloudy through the first half of the night,

dome. We observed GRB060218, UGC 3658, and Sextans 8 during the 
first half of the night. While turning the 8K detector off at the 
end of the night we recieved a warning, and when we tested the 
detectors, they would not turn on. We followed the second 
procedure listed in the handbook, and the detectors turned on 
and functioned normally.
