---- Observing Summary ----
04:52Z	We completed all MARVELS calibrations according to the instructions within the
	documentation, but ran into some saturation problems with the TUNGNF, TIONF, and
	TUNG exposures. This is probably caused by the new fiber upgrades. We will need to
	know the new exposure times for these exposures. Nathan has already been notified.
11:14Z	The rest of the night was lost due to clouds, humidity, and snow.
