(* means a trouble report has been issued or appended to)
The telescope was opened at 23:40 MDT.  Opening was delayed by clouds.
The scheduled UC program switched to a backup spectral program because
SPIcam is down for shutter replacement.  Connie Rockosi observed QSO
candidates.  There was a target of opportunity in the morning, a
gravitational micro lens predicted to get relatively bright.  Connie
and I took some images with DIS and also got a spectrum.  The object
was not especially bright.
No major problems.  The guide camera controller software crashed
shortly after we started guiding, so I had to reboot and restart the
guider.
Telescope pointing was pretty good.  I made a few local corrections,
though.
			     OBSERVER COMMENTS
Connie Rockosi (UC) - The telescope pointed very well and the guider
worked for every field."
