(* means a trouble report has been issued or appended to)
The telescope was opened at 21:35, but I had to reclose at 21:50 due
to clouds.  I reopened at 00:00, after the sky cleared, but had to
reclose at 00:35 MDT due to high humidity.
Eric Bell (U. Durham) was the observer for UC05.  He observed remotely
from the UK.  Gene Magnier was the observer for UW10, observing from
UW.  I was the observer for PU01.
Eric got just a little time on the sky.  Gene and I were clouded and
fogged out.
The weather was frustrating, really marginal.  By the end of the night
it was foggy.
