(* means a trouble report has been issued or appended to)
The telescope was opened at 17:00 MST.  Charles Corson was the
observing specialist for the first half of the night.  The observers
were Zlatan Tsventanov for JH03, myself for PU01, and Julie Lutz for
WS01.  Zlatan was unable to observe remotely, due to JHU maintenance
of their computer systems, so Charles observed for him.
The first half of the night had variable clouds.  Charles closed the
telescope at 21:50 MST, was able to reopen at 22:45 MST, but had to
close again at 23:30 MST.  I reopened under high clouds at 01:35 MST,
and closed at 04:00 MST.  We waited for the sky to clear, but gave up
for the night at 04:45 MST.
			     OBSERVER COMMENTS
Julie (WS01) - "Clouds interfered with getting faint objects, but
otherwise everything went well. The observing Mac crashed once."
