No equipment or software problems were encountered.

Observing Summary:

Played hide and seek with the targets throughout the night.
They mostly won on the first half, with the patchy clouds
providing lots of good hiding places. I got the upper hand
on the second half, and managed to observe 7 targets. Lost
the pointing twice due to my own errors and lost some time
correcting it. Otherwise, no significant problem occurred.
