Opening was delayed by high dust counts. I was the observer for PU01. The telescope was closed during this time, so I didn't get any observations. I don't know who was supposed to be the observer for UC14. No one showed. Mark Hereld is listed as the PI on the schedule. I didn't find a listing for UC14 in the Q2 observing proposals, so I wasn't able to determine who was supposed to do the observations. I tried for an hour to reach Mark at his home. Unfortunately, his line was busy. I did speak to Scott Severson, but he isn't a collaborator on the UC14 proposal, so he didn't have any information. I used most of what remained of the time to do engineering work, taking the guider instrument block data Russ Owen was dusted out of last night. Alan Watson (NM06) used what was left to get an early start on his program. Alan's program went well, although there was some cirrus.
