The observing was effected by high cirrus, roughly 40min were un-observable. Alan did obtain some useful data, and the seeing remained stable for him. No problems at all. Maria Geha observed with Spicam for the second half of the evening, again efficient, but variable focus. However, no other problems were of note and the run was efficient. OBSERVER COMMENTS: Alan Diercks Good run, think we got some useful stuff tonight. Maria Geha Spicam worked very well and we had no problems with the network.
