(* means a trouble report has been issued or appended to)
The telescope was not opened tonight, due to clouds and a lot of dust.
There were just a few little sprinkles of rain.  The observers were
myself for PU01, Jeff Brown for WS01, and Alan Diercks for UW03.  The
internet connection at NMSU in Las Cruces went down around 20:30 MDT,
leaving APO with no access to the internet beyond NMSU.  Craig has
contacted NMSU tech support.  The connection is still down as of this
writing.
I used the cloudy/dusty time to further test the new DIS/Remark
software.
