(* means a trouble report has been issued or appended to)
The telescope was opened at 18:30, and we remained open for the rest of the
evening!!!!
Charles Corson and I observed 2237 and 2345 for the Lens Monitoring program.
Then the telescpe was turned over to David Reiss and he observed for the UW04
program.
Brooke Skelton was the observer for the rest of the evening.  She worked on
Gene Magnier's project once she completed all her targets.
No problems to speak of.
