(* means a trouble report has been issued or appended to)
1st half observing specialist: Karen Gloria
The telescope was opened at 18:00 MST under a clear sky that remained
so all evening.  The observers were myself and Kevin Krisciunas for
UW02, and Jeff Brown for WS02.  Both observing runs were productive.
Images outside of focus continue to show some astigmatism.
2nd half observing specialist: Karen Gloria
Chris Mallouris observed remotely with the Echelle.  The pointing was
pretty good.  Everything went smoothly, with Chris doing all the hard
work.
