Observing Summary:

I was unable to adjust the focus entirely. I attempted
to perform the focus4k routine in Prospero at the beginning
of the night, but the focus hung up when it was going 
through the early stages of the routine. I tried using 
the hand paddle, TCS, and Prospero to pull it out of its
hangup, but none of that worked. I powered cycled the driver
chassis and closed and reopened all of the data acquisition
windows (ISIS, Caliban, etc). Still no good. Basically lost
the entire night as a result. I sent an email to DFM 
who will hopefully get back to us tomorrow during the day.

Also it was a little windier tonight, with some gusts
getting above 40mph. It calmed a little later on in the
night.
