(* means a trouble report has been issued or appended to)
The telescope was opened at 17:45.  Charles Corson and I observed 2237 for the
Lens Monitoring run.  The skies were clear.
Brad Holden was the observer for UC02. We were using the Guider, and the power
had to be cycled upstairs, and we had to restart the Guide camera a few times.
It seems as though the Guider Mac software crashed, but recovery was simple.
Connie Rockosi was the observer for UC04. She proceeded to observe with Spicam
even though it was have temperature problems earlier in the day (see note from
Charles Corson).  She accomplished some drift scanning photometry.

used is north=0 degrees, east=90 degrees.  The dust count is particles
