1st Half Observing Specialist: Karen Gloria
	The telescope was opened at 21:00 MST.  Opening was delayed by
clouds.  An especially stubborn little cloud remained over APO for a
while after we opened.  The seeing was a bit below average this
evening.  No problems to report with either the telescope or the
instrument.
2nd Half Observing Specialist: Camron Hastings
	Things ran smoothly. No problems to report. Clouds hampered our attempts at
throughput stars, but plenty of spectra regardless.
