(* means a trouble report has been issued or appended to)
Observing specialist: R. McMillan
Note: Tonight and last night, JH01 swapped some of their time with
UC03 to get a more accurate window around the eclipses.
High dust counts kept us closed for the first portion of the night;
once we were able to open, the telescope was quite warm and the seeing
notably poor.  After a few hours, the seeing improved to moderate, and
the morning hours were quite productive, including apparently
successful observations of an eclipsed Jovian moon.
