(* means a trouble report has been issued or appended to)
Dan Long was the observing specialist for the first half of the
night.  The telescope was not opened, due to dust, high wind, clouds,
and humidity in various combinations.  Note the tremendous dust count
at 20:00 MST.
The scheduled observers were Ed Turner with Yashushi Suto, Toru
Yamada, and Ichi Tanaka for PU03, and Bernhard Beck-Wihchatz for UW02.
