(* means a trouble report has been issued or appended to)
1st half observing specialist: Camron Hastings
2nd half observing specialist: Russet McMillan
Second half started out mostly cloudy, and the AOTF people were unable
to get anything at all, although they said they had gotten a few good
images earlier in the evening.  They decided to give up around 00:30,
and I closed the telescope until the WSMR people arrived.  Work with
AMBER got started around 03:30.  After doing a raster search, we were
able to acquire stars with the instrument, but attempts to adjust the
boresight telescope were hampered by clouds and twilight.
