(* means a trouble report has been issued or appended to)
The telescope was opened at 19:40 due to overcast skies.  Gorden Richards was
able to get one image before handing the telescope over for Lens Monitoring.
I was able to observe 2237.
Xiaohui continued making use of the slit camera to take high resolution
images of faint galaxies. He was very happy with the amount of observing we
accomplished.
No problems to speak of.
