Observing Summary:

Great night again !
Machinery worked almost perfectly -- only exception : dome went into 
dreaded 'fugue' state on second to last observation. Had to move
dome during that one, and the last one manually, as dome kept reverting
to said rumbling around.
In the end, when I sent it  home , it finally stopped at some point of time,
but way off target. So, again, manually brought it back to  home ,
and then had to tell TCS that it is at 320, and not 187 degrees, as TCS 
erroneously believed. Hope it will start up fine tomorrow, and not 
fall into that wandering state again.

Again, there was a brief spell (2 hours max) of extremely bad seeing 
(from around 2-4am local time).
