(* means a trouble report has been issued or appended to)
1st half observing specialist: K. Gloria
2nd half observing specialist: K. Gloria
The telescope was opened at 20:20 MDT.  It was closed at 01:15, due to
clouds, and reopened at 2:50.  At 03:30, it was closed due to dust and
not reopened.  A half hour of evening twilight was lost due to the
azimuth amplifier being unplugged, and I didn't catch this during the
afternoon checkout, which is my mistake.  Aside from that, the first
have of the night was ok.  There was some confusion over offset
directions, but that's understandable considering the multiple
conventions in use.  Mike Ledlow and Frazer Owen were on site for the
first half.  Jeff Brown observed remotely from WSU the second half of
the night. We were open only long enough to focus and get set up on his
first object.  He hadn't collected very many photons when we closed.
