Observing Summary:

Lost time at the start of the night because 
mirror covers would not open, noticed pressure was 0psi, reset
compressor but same problem as the other day E/W on top N/S.  Called
Eric and helped opened mirror covers.  Running on tanks for the weekend
to prevent problems.

Once opened, weather was great.  Had an issue with one target and
checking spectra with osqlsp.  Curious why only wavelength graph wouldn't display.  restarting program didnt help
other data was taken and worked fine so no loss


Closed mirror covers at end of night then opened again to double check closing in correct configuration
