Observing Summary:

Productive night.  The entire mountain and MDM are on generator power after the
storms the previous two days.  mdm24ws1 lost network connection to the Dell
FX100 three times during the night and automatically rebooted.  Lost two long 
exposures.  Some kind of network dropout associated with the power fluctuations
perhaps?  There were brownouts in the control room all through the night but most
where harmless.
