Observing Summary:

Full night of spectra of low surface brightness galaxies with OSMOS.  

Some pointing issues with the telescope that appear worse at lower altitudes (farther from zenith)

The Bench temperature does not appear to be automatically updating, making it hard to know what the camera focus is.  
The temperature updated if restart was run in prospero.
