Focus & Solar trip (but we didn't focus on the Sun!)

Windy night, but things worked very well! We were able to focus and take some pretty pictures of the Little Dumbbell Nebula! James from UW Solar came and measured the dome & telescope electrical loads and found that they are well within our inverter's limit!

Issues: Bifrost hit hour angle limit bug all the time last night, possibly because LST had just passed 0. Day room duct heater keeps tripping an internal safety, so we turned the furnace up to heat the place. Forgot to turn it back down, but at least it'll be comfortable next time we go!

Groceries: In addition to pantry items, we have almost a dozen eggs, plenty of drinking water. We need garbage bags! Both kitchen and a new set of big "hefty" ones.

Water: started at 27" ended at 25". At least two full jugs up there.
