(* means a trouble report has been issued or appended to)
1st half observing specialist: Camron Hastings
2nd half observing specialist: Karen Gloria
The telescope was opened at 19:17 MDT and closed at 21:30 MDT due to
clouds.  Xiaohui got a spectrum of a standard but the clouds moved in
so quickly he didn't get anything else.  The other two programs were
clouded out.  We had a little very light rain, but mainly clouds and
humidity.
