- Started set up, only one of the mirrors doors opened the west one
- Mirror doors were fixed by waiting an hour and trying again after opening and closing a few times
- the blog time was originally off, so could not make a blog post, this was fixed
- Started variable plan
- Had trouble finding the first of the frames, but by reinitializing the telescope and moving it around a little bit we were able to reinitialize it to the right variable star
- Started taking darks, flats, darkflats
- North and west mirror doors refused to close at the end of the night. Temperature was 30 degrees.
- The west door began working again after a few minutes. The north one still isn't working.
- All of the doors worked at the end of the night. Seems like letting the dome warm for a while fixed it.
