(* means a trouble report has been issued or appended to)
The telescope was opened at 18:40, after spectral calibrations were
taken.  The observers were Bernadette Rodgers for UW03, myself for
PU01, and Ed Turner with Yashushi Suto, Toru Yamada, and Ichi Tanaka
for PU03.
I had to do a single large pointing correction at the beginning of the
night (same as last night).  I had to manually nudge the star into the
guide camera frame so this took a little time out of Bernadette's run.
Otherwise, Bernadette's run was fine.
Ed Turner moved the PU01 time slot to follow UW03, this saved an
instrument change.  The PU03 drift-scanning run went well, although a
frame in stare mode appears as if the shutter didn't close at the end
of the exposure.
			     OBSERVER COMMENTS
Bernadette (UW03) - "Run went well.  No problems to report.
Ed et al. (PU03) - The observing run went well.  More detailed
comments will be provided at the end of the four night run.
