(* means a trouble report has been issued or appended to)
The telescope was opened at 19:15 MDT.  The observers were myself for
PU01 and Julie Lutz for WS02.  We had a pretty good night,
weatherwise.  I saw two miller moths flying around the telescope at
the end of the night.  If this marks the beginning of moth season,
it's a little early this year.  Some pollen deposited on the mirror
during the night.
			     OBSERVER COMMENTS
Me (PU) - I observed two gravitational lenses for PU01.  The seeing
was pretty good, although the Moon was very bright.
Julie Lutz (WS) - "Everything went very well. No problems. I got lots
of spectra of pn central stars.  Julie"
