Observing Summary:

the dome was opened at ~21:00. I had some problems to establish 
the pointing. Following the procedure as described in the manual
it turned out that the tilt meter has to be set to x=+0.09 and 
y=+0.04, as Bob pointed out whom I gave a call for support. The
rest of the night went fine and 5(+1) targets and two standards
were observed.
