Observing Summary:

After installing CHaS on the telescope in the afternoon the first part of the
night was devoted to additional instrument work and initial focus
alignment checks with calibration lamp.

Later in the night (after 1:30 AM) we began to observe astronomical targets.
However we ran into an issue (see trouble report) where the telescope slewed
to an unexpected position, near the north celestial pole.  Subsequently we were unable to
slew to any other target and needed to close for the night.
