   Tonight's plan was to check to see if the azimuth control work during
the day  improved pointing consistency, and take a model if it had.
Depending on the time of model completion and the weather conditions, the
imager or spectrograph cartridge would then be mounted.
   The weather prevented us from opening tonight.  Much of the night it was
mostly cloudy, and when it wasn't cloudy, the humidity was too high.
   Since we did not get to open, the imager is still on the telescope.
Assuming it can be opened during the day, it would be very desirable to get
the imager off the telescope and mount the engineering camera without
corrector, so that pointing model work can start in bright twilight.
