I observed for PU01, unfortunately through some cirrus. Dan Zucker observed for UW07, this time DIS. He's observed his target with all of the APO instruments except for the Echelle. No problems during his run except for some cirrus and high airmass towards the end. 2nd Half Observing Specialist: Camron Hastings No problems. Some cirrus at times. The slit camera died part way through the night. It kept saying "Time Out when Requesting Camera Status" I rebooted the slit PC and all was fine again.
