(* means a trouble report has been issued or appended to)
The telescope went on the sky tonight, thanks to a lot of hard work by
the staff.  The first half of the night went very well.  The telescope
was collimated on the sky and the first half of the guide camera
instrument block was done.  There were no oscillations of the drives
or the mirror support system.
*The second half of the night was a loss, due to a failure of the
guider mechanical (which I have reported in detail).  I did try to
repair it.
