The MAWS is back and working fine. The serial port the MAWS was connected to showed signs of intermittent failure. A backup card was installed, and the port changed (ttyS0 -> ttyS4). The opportunity was taken to re-evacuate the dewar, which was not cooling completely. The telescope is on and functioning.

RCT weather station inoperative
The vaisala weather station is not responding. The telescope will be down for at least a few days until the station can be inspected.
Focus adjusted
The focus was off last night. I’ll interrupt the queue at the beginning of tonight to re-calibrate it.
