Opened the dome at 18:50. While integrating with the DIS, it was found while in horizon rotation that the object stayed better positioned if the NA2 guider was not used. Tom Williams reported that his DIS spectra were not significantly widened, with the slitviewer apparently in focus. Had shutter sticking open problems with the NA2 guider again tonight. Closed at 05:30.
