Gloria 2nd half observing specialist: K. Gloria Due to storm clouds, high humidity, and eventually rain, the telescope remained closed for the night. SPIcam was scheduled to be used tonight, but it is dropping bits and also truncating some images, so Kevin Krisciunas went to his back up program, with GrIm2. Day staff worked on SPIcam through the afternoon and evening. No word yet on when it will be operational.
