SYNOPSIS FOR NIGHT:
===================
Nada.
GENERAL COMMENTS (see Problems below for details):
==================================================
Cloudy with nearby thunderstorms at sunset. It started to clear after
23:15, but at that time a combination of climbing dust, humidity and an
approaching line of nasty thunderstorms from the north kept us closed.
Clouds came back as well at about 02:00.
No problems noted during afternoon checkout, except for mixed up cables
to the spectrograph monitors. Currently, spectro 1 cameras display on
the spectro 2 monitor & vice versa. The cables to the monitors will be
switched by Jon B.
On the plus side, the spectrograph cameras behaved all night long.
