Observing Specialist: T.Sutherland,C.Gray
Restarted arcsat computer after user reported telescope was offline at start of the night.
Opened at 5:45pm since cals were being taken at sunset.

Closed at 6:15 since user was done with science targets.
The weather was beautiful all night and there were no telescope or instrument problems :)
