Last night of the 2013-2 semester! Dark and good seeing night that was reasonably productive. Spent a good fraction of the night with HRS observations to test the new HRS control software to be used by the SALT astronomers. Had to test it while Eddy was still at the telescope. Some other RSS and SCAM data were taken. Data taken successfully for
