(* means a trouble report has been issued or appended to)
The telescope wasn't opened, due to overcast sky and periods of rain.
The telescope was slewed almost continuously for four hours during the
evening in order to observe the azimuth axis runaways.  The telescope
didn't run away at any time during these slews.  We used the TCC and
the MC/Remark interface.
Steve Kent (UC07) was on-site to observe with the DSC.  This was the
DSC's last scheduled night on the telescope.  Steve was clouded out.
Ted Wyder and Toby Smith (UW09) planned to observe remotely with
SPIcam.  They were clouded and rained out.
I was the observer for the lens monitoring program (PU01) with DIS.
I'd hoped to obtain some throughput data as well, but was clouded out.
