(* means a trouble report has been issued or appended to)
The telescope was opened at 16:15 MST.
The observers were myself for PU01, Elizabeth Rizza for NM04, and
Russet McMillan for PU05.
The sky was photometric all night and there were no problems with the
telescope or instruments.  Fatigue was a problem for myself and the
second half observer.
SPIcam hasn't been autofilling properly, so I've been filling it
manually.
			     OBSERVER COMMENTS
Elizabeth Rizza (NM04) - "My only comment for the night is that
everything went very well."
Russet McMillan (PU05) - "I think the run went very well, but guider
images should be easier to see and the lamps web page is really dumb."
myself (PU01) - I observed two lens targets, so I'm happy.
