Yet again, like last night, tonight's plan was to check to see if the recent azimuth control work improved pointing consistency, and take a model if it had. Off equator drift scanning is on tap once the model is completed. Also like recent nights, the weather prevented us from opening tonight. It was mostly cloudy all night, becoming foggy after about 03:00. The pointing model is still on the schedule for first thing tomorrow night. I filled the spectrograph transfer dewar at about 02:30. I expect it will need attention again by about Noon. Dan
