(* means a trouble report has been issued or appended to)
The telescope was opened at 21:40.  Chris Stubbs and the students from UW
were on site for telescope training.  They made use of DIS to obtain images
of test objects and practice working with the telescope.
We were closed for almost three hours due to heavy clouds and an approaching
storm front moving north from El Paso.  We closed when we observed lightning
to the south.
