1st half observing specialist: K. Gloria
2nd half observing specialist: K. Gloria
The telescope was opened at 20:30 MDT, after spectral calibrations.
The sky was mostly clear, except for some haze, and remained so all
night.  It was a little humid, but the humidity wasn't too high to
allow us to stay open.  Everything went pretty smoothly.
Gordon Richards observed for UC01 and UC04.
                            OBSERVER COMMENTS
UC01/04 (Richards): "Unexpectedly productive given the recent weather
pattern."
