   Mid: Seeing 1.2 arcsec, Clear, Winds Calm

Observing Summary:

A bit of a mediocre night, seeing was quite poor for most of
the night and patchy clouds at the beginning of the night.
Started off the night with a problem, the IE went down
however this appears to have just been a loose power cable.
I pushed the power cable back in, it came back on and it came back 
after running startup in prospero. After this we observed 4 targets
and at the end of the night the same quadrant started reading out
garbage again at about the same time as the previous night at exposure
396. We attempted to correct this by resetting the HE, then 
the IE wouldn't come back. We then restarted the IC and everything came back
and the bad quadrant is now giving good data again.
