(* means a trouble report has been issued or appended to)
The telescope was opened at 22:05 MDT, under partly cloudy sky.  It
was closed, due to clouds, at 23:30 MDT.
Tia Hoyes and I were the observers for PU01.  Salman Hameed was the
scheduled observer for NM01, but wasn't available.  Nichole King was
on hand and used a half hour of his time.  I had to close the telescope
before she could get any data though.
The remainder of the night was either too humid or too cloudy to open.
