(* means a trouble report has been issued or appended to)
1st half observing specialist: Karen Gloria
Adler observed from their new remote location.  Their run went OK,
except for some problems with the configuration of their Macintosh.
Nancy Levenson and Ravi Sankrit were onsite to observe for JH03.
Their run went very smoothly.  The sky was photometric and the seeing
was sub-arcsecond (at least in the IR).  They lost one exposure due to
the altitude axis pointing being about 11 arcmin off.  The magnesensor
error showed this and it was quickly corrected.
2nd half observing specialist: Karen Gloria
The second half observer was Matt Holman for NM07.  He had a lot of
network trouble, which may have been at his end at the CFA.  His
connection was so unreliable we decided it would be better if I did
the observations.  This solution worked reasonably well, as his
program was quite straightforward.  Although the sky was clear, the
seeing was not as good as it had been the first half of the night.  We
were averaging 1.5 - 2.0 arcsec much of the time.
                            OBSERVER COMMENTS
NM07 (Holman): I had network problems, but Karen was able to carry on
the observing.
