                     APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5m
                              OBSERVING  LOG
   The enclosure was opened around 17:00 to partly cloudy skies.  Clouds
were around until about 22:30.  After that it was clear most of the time,
with only and occasional passing bit of high cloud.
   Tonight was spent working on the focus loop, and a few other engineering
tasks, as the seeing was never really that good ( averaging about 1.5
arcseconds ).  The night was spent parked on the equator at the meridian.
Data was taken on the southern stripe, but was not science quality.
   The telescope was left open for interlock testing, which should take a
couple hours.
