-  - Regular startup procedures +    -Took a bunch of variable star pics 
-    - North mirror door not opening with command; East and West also struggled because of this +    -took flats and darks 
-    - Tried closing and reopening them twice, north worked on second try +    -north mirror door was not closing on its own so we had to manually turn it
