Observing Summary:

At 9:51pm the IC computer went down for unknown reasons. We restarted
it in control room (ctrl+alt+del -> c:\cd ROSMOS -> IC), restarted Prospero,
and the problem was gone.

We could not run the focusing scripts that we used in our the last run  
(December 2012). It did not change the focus or move the telescope. The error
message was  can't shift until the acquisition is started . In the end we had 
to do focusing manually.

One lamp in computer room was burned out.
