(* means a trouble report has been issued or appended to)
The telescope was opened at 17:00.  Chris Stubbs donated his time to UW03,
so Gene Magnier was observing for the entire evening.
Gene's net connection went down early in the evening, so Charles observed for
him until it came back. (Charles was the observer until 20:00)
Charles also notes that the T1 link was lost at 16:00 and there were some
additional problems in the recovery of the CISCO router, but no time was lost.
Gene then observed for the rest of the night under murky skies.  He used DIS
until 21:30, and then switched to GRIM2.  I asked for comments on the run and
Gene stated "I was able to get IR images of every target, and narrow band
images of the best.  It was very productive."
