Summary
------------------------------------------------------------------------

The fibre link between Cape Town and Sutherland was still down at the beginning of the night. SALT Astronomer Ros, who was at SALT conducting interviews for a new Operator, got started with the observations until Veronica and Encarni were finally able to connect (albeit through a still very slow network) at around midnight. The network was finally restored at 1am. Had a few technical issues and some thin cloud tonight.
