The telescope was open tonight at 19:00.  SPICAM was used for the Adler and
Lens Monitoring program this evening to test the function of the
instrument.  Peter Doherty and I took biases and short skyflats, and the new
slit shutter mechanism seemed to work perfectly.
Dave Cole then began a series of exposures, with no problems to speak of.
I observed Abell 2213 for 600 seconds for the Lens Monitoring as suggested by
Alan Dierks.  No problems.
Tom Williams and Paul Mason were on site for the NM10 program.
Comments: We had a good run ... seeing was subarcsecond all night, instruments
 performed
well.
Thanks for your help.
 cheers
Tom Willams
