(* means a trouble report has been issued or appended to)
The telescope was opened at 20:20 MDT, after spectral calibrations.
The observers were Bruce Balick, Karen Kwitter and Sarah Kate Mae for
UW08.  WSMR observed the second half of the night.
No problems to report, everything went smoothly.  The UW observers
used the new medium resolution gratings.  It did take me 2 hours to
load and calibrate the grating zero points.  Most of that was
calibration.
			     OBSERVER COMMENTS
UW - They were really tired, so I'll get comments from them tomorrow
night.
