Comments recorded in End-Of-Night & End-Of-Run reports

As before, most comments written in the reports during period 30 were very positive, especially about the support from the staff.

Apart from comments related to problems that were also separately entered in the fault data base and comments about the weather (including a request to install a fog removing device) there were only a few specific remarks. As before, the need to be able to fully script ALFOSC observations was noted which is something that will be addressed by the sequencer program that is being developed. Also, it was requested to add an alarm to the autoguider system when reaching the limits while tracking on a moving object. The way the telescope will track moving objects will be somewhat different in the new TCS, and this feature can be added. It was also commented that the observer should be better informed about the circumstances when they can open the telescope under icy conditions. The installation of the NOTCam focus pyramid was noted with pleasure.
