The telescope was open tonight at 21:50.  Lens Monitoring was shut out but
high winds and high dust counts.
 Eric Bell was available for the
first half of the evening.  I proceeded to focus at 22:00.  I had to close
at 23:00 due to high dust counts which was found to be heavy pollen. (see
email posted to staff)
Comments:We opened up for about 1 hour, before pollen forced us to close up.
During that hour, we got good data for 1 galaxy and a couple of standards.
Thanks, Tia -- Eric :)
Bernadette Rodgers was available for the second half of the evening, but
the pollen continued.
