Observing Summary:

Overall a good night. We found a temporary solution to the guide
camera focus. We moved the telescope to +70 declination, and when
we moved the telescope back to our targets, the guider focus was
OK. After several hours, the focus degraded again. We repeated the
process to fix it (moved the telescope to +70 dec) and it worked.
So something is loose in there...
