                     APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5m
                              OBSERVING  LOG
The telescope was opened at 20:15.  It was clear all night.  Winds were 10
to 20 MPH out of the west, and dust counts were around 2000 ( essentially
the same as last night ).
We immediately set up on the equator and began driftscanning.  The
telescope was focused.  The rotator was moved slightly to improve star
images.
The majority of the night was spent working on astroline problems and DA
glitches while taking driftscan data.  A check of CCD alignment using the
driftscan data was done as well
The telescope was closed up at 05:20 and preparations were made for
removing the camera.  The tyvek cover was put over the primary so that the
camera could be taken off the telescope in daylight.
