Jeff Morgan and Dave Woods were able to bring Spicam back into service.
The instrument performed well.
Alan Diercks observed with Spicam for the first half with good weather
and good seeing.  Several `ppk error code=168' communication errors
occured with the guider and the guider mac crashed once.  This did not
stop Alan's obserations, but was a nuisance.  No other problems to note.
Chris Mallauris observed with DIS in low res mode.  The weather degraded
quickly but improved, generally good conditions for the majority of the
run.  The telescope and Dis performed well.  The guider continued with
communication errors and I gave up trying to reset/reboot (only known
solution to the particular problem) and guided of the slit.  The
observations were efficient.
I observed two primary targets for the Lens Monitoring program.
There was one occurance of the azimuth drive oscillating, but that
was surpassed by tracking a magna-sensor.
