Notes from the 4PM Meeting and Additional Comments.¶

Camera & Telescope
------------------
Two jobs on the dome. One job is continuation of the bearings.
Plus they did a half-flip of the cage to check the access of C1.  
 They are still flipped.

SISPI needed to be configured twice. PAN2 didn't start first try.
