(* means a trouble report has been issued or appended to)
The telescope was opened at 19:20.  I observed 2237 for the Lens Monitoring
run.  David Reiss was the observer for UW04 and he went over his time by about
15 minutes (with the consent of Brooke Skelton).
Brooke then continued for the rest of the evening using SPICAM.  Chris Stubbs
donated his time to Brooke.
The problems mentioned yesterday were still occurring, ie. Remark is not
displaying properly, and the telescope has been trailing.  I solved both
problems the same way that I did on October 4th.
