I just needed to adjust a valve. These two problems used up most of the lens monitoring time, so I had just enough time to snap a pair of images of the primary target. Nicole King observed with GRIM2 tonight. She was able to complete her DIS observations last night so tonight she did followup observations in J, H, and K. Russet McMillan's notes: Everything went smoothly. The only difficulty was a command collision on DIS due to operator error, solved by reinitializing. No problems with pointing, tracking or cooling of DIS. OBSERVER COMMENTS Brad Holden: Except for a minor glitch with DIS everything went well tonight. I got almost all of my science targets. I had no problems with the telescope, it performed beautifully.
