Observing Summary:

Lost pointing -- and had to do the full  zenith -> tiltmeters  procedure
before midnight.
The target acquisition procedure osctrtask did not easily lead to satisfying
results - probably mostly due to me being a complete novice with it.
A detailed report of some of the problems is in the separate trouble report.

For about 3hours (from 1.30am onwards), the seeing became extremely 
poor.
