Charles Hoopes observed with DIS, observing ionized gas regions of M33. Charles commented that the observations went well, with some adaptation in tracking through zenith. Russet McMillan observed for PU05, nova targets and QSO candidates. Again, the observations went very well. The seeing was generally very good, though significantly variable at times. Skies were clear, but possibly not photometric. The guider did quit early in the evening with the "too few responses" error. Seems that rebooting the camera controler is the only solution.
