 Summary:
=========

  Bad weather for most of the night.  Conditions at sunset were photometric,
  and we opened to obtain twilight flats.  We had to close during the initial
  collimation and focus sequence due to high winds.  We were not able to
  re-open.

 Opening
============

   0024   Beginning LBC bias frames for LBCB and LBCR cameras
   0040   LBC-Red gave an error:  Timeout on CCD controller.  Suspending bias
          frames at 45/50 completed.  Opening vent doors to equalize dome
          temperature.
   0049   Power-cycling LBC cameras to correct controller error.
   0155   Sunset.  Patchy clouds near the horizon.  Photometric conditions.
   0200   Beginning work on twilight flats
   0228   Beginning r- & z-band flats.  Counts ~13000
   0234   Beginning V- & I-band flats.  CR ~11000
   0237   Beginning B- & R-band flats.  CR ~10000
   0243   Beginning r- & i-band flats.  CR ~8000
   0257   Beginning focus sequence
   0259   Closing telescope due to high winds
   0451   Running bias image sequence to test instrument configuration
   0520   Re-opening and beginning collimation/focus sequence
   0524   Latch-pin 10-10 error.  Unable to open left shutter door.
   0535   Closing again.  Latch pin failure suggests wind conditions (gusts up 
          to 18 m/s) are torquing the shutter doors.
   0633   Changing instruments to LUCIFER.  It's better to spend the time now
          while we're closed.
   1100   Giving up for the night.
