(* means a trouble report has been issued or appended to)
1st half observing specialist: K. Gloria
The telescope was opened at 18:45 MDT.  Kevin Krisciunas was on site
to observe for UW02 with SPIcam.  He got three of his targets plus
standards done in his brief time slot.
I had to do local pointing corrections after large slews.
After Kevin, Zlatan Tsvetanov was on, observing remotely with DIS.  I
had to correct an error in altitude after I turned the motors back on.
This was an error reflected in the magnesensor position, so I think it
was due to some slippage of the altitude axis rather than the pointing
model.  The JH06 run went well, although the seeing was a bit variable
at times.
2nd half observing specialist: K. Gloria
Scott Austin was on, observing remotely for WS02, with DIS.  Scott
graciously allowed Zlatan to run 5 minutes over into his time to
finish an exposure.  His run went well.  The seeing was a bit mushy at
times.  We were at around 2 airmasses, however.
