Observing Summary:

Restarting the TCS required restarting the guiding camera system. Unfortunately, I did not learn this until 11 pm when the clouds started lifting.

John Thorstenson and I worked out how to restart the guiding camera. It works again.

The password to the computer and the COMPORT needed to guide are now on the white board.

I ran out of time to download all my data. Please do not erase the files in chichon for a few days.
