1st Half Observing Specialist: Karen Gloria
	The telescope was opened at 18:15 MST under mostly clear skies.  The
sky remained clear through most of the evening, with just a few
scattered clouds towards midnight.  Gordon Richards continued his
observations for UC03.  No problems to report, although we both noted
that a faster slit camera would be nice.
2nd Half Observing Specialist: N.C.Hastings
	Second half started smoothly, but with thickening clouds.
