Gloria 2nd half observing specialist: K. Gloria The telescope was opened at 20:30 MDT, after spectral calibrations. Tonight was pretty much a repeat of last night. The sky was mostly clear, except for some haze and a few scattered clouds, 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): "Very productive again tonight."
