(* means a trouble report has been issued or appended to)
The telescope was opened at 19:25, and Charles Corson and I used the GUIDER
to obtain a pointing model. (At 20:50: Focus value was 0, and the Piston value
was 57,500.  See note to techstaff for more lengthy explanation)
We then observed 1608 for the Lens Monitoring run.
Dan Zucker, Toby Smith, and Ted Wyder were observing for UW09, UW03, and UW05.
They used SPICAM for the entire evening.  We had to close for a half hour at
22:45, for heavy clouds.  Also, the UW team lost connection when the cloud cam
lost it's connection, and stopped sending images to the Web at 2:35.  I logged
out of the cloud cam connection, and they seemed to be able to reconnect
without a hitch.

used is north=0 degrees, east=90 degrees.  The dust count is particles
>1 micron per 0.1 cu. ft.
