(* means a trouble report has been issued or appended to)
1st half observing specialist: Karen Gloria
The telescope was opened at 17:30 MST.  There were a lot of high
clouds early in the night, during UW02.  After that we had a pretty
good hole in the clouds that lasted through most of JH03.  No
instrument or telescope problems to report.
2nd half observing specialist: Russet McMillan
We remained open through second half, doing simultaneous observations
with HST.  The telescope and instruments all behaved perfectly, and
aside from the clouds there were no problems at all.
