 Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
Checked new eyepiece on telescope for tommorow nights open house.  Adjusted the eyepiece in the
barrel slightly and got it to focus nicely with a secondary focus of 0 (inst=spicam).  Checked out
the objects I wanted to observe tommorow, to see what could be eliminated.  I think I narrowed the
list down to 4 objects now, which should work well for the 30 min time slots.
Had an odd error come thru the TUI log window:

Who is cmdinauth 2???  Looked like it came from the hub.
I saw this login  cmdinauth-299 ??? in the TUI users window later as well.
Weather pages went down again tonight.  Steph rebooted Zaphod last night and that seemed to fix
the problem  We tried it again tonight.  Although tonight we also seem to have lost access to the
APO web pages as well.  Rebooting Zaphod fixed the weather page problems.  APO pages still seemed
to load slow.
Engineering tasks Completed
