(* means a trouble report has been issued or appended to)
The telescope was opened at 16:00 MDT.  It was closed at 19:15 MDT to
take cals, and reopened at 20:00 MDT.  The observers were Joni Johnson
and Tom Harrison for NM08 and Gyula Szokoly for JH03.  No problems to
report, except seeing has been below average for the past three
nights.
			     OBSERVER COMMENTS
Joni (NM08) - "Good, dust-free, less windy conditions.  Seeing was okay.
All of our observational goals for this evening were accomplished,
including a (personal) Target of Opportunity, CI Cam, a symbiotic
star that recently was a transient x-ray burst source, unheard of
in a symbiotic star."
