Calibration images were delayed by repair work on the DIS. We believe we have fixed the problem reported in last night's log. Charles Hoopes (NM07) observed on-site with Laurianne Flynn and Vanessa Galarza (both NM). Their observing program went well. We had no problems with the DIS and Charles had 2 hours of integration time on his science target. Gene Magnier observed remotely for UW05, with DIS. His run went well, except for a *pointing error in the altitude axis, which I corrected by slewing the axis past a few magnesensors.
