(* means a trouble report has been issued or appended to)
The telescope was opened at 19:40 MDT.  It was closed at 02:45 MDT,
due to clouds and was reopened at 05:00 MDT.
The observers were Bill Oegerle for JH04, Don Hoard for UW01, and
Rhodri Evans for UC03.
The azimuth axis behaved well.  There were no instances of the azimuth
failing to stop at the end of a slew.
Bill Oegerle had to retake some of his calibration images at the end
of his run, due to a screw-up on my part with the instrument
configuration during the afternoon cals.  The rest of his run was very
productive.  He obtained spectra of eleven of his targets.
Don was able to get a good 10 minute spectrum of his and Paula
Szkody's target, plus calibrations.
Rhodri was plagued with clouds.
