(* 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 open from 23:45 to 01:45 MDT, and 02:40 - 03:00 MDT.
Opening was delayed by clouds and generally unsettled weather.  Much of
the observing time was spent waiting for patches of clouds to pass.
Ed Turner and Bart Pindor observed remotely for PU03.  They got a few
photons in between clouds, but not many.
Chris Mallouris observed remotely for UC02.  We were on the sky just
long enough to get set up before having to close at 3:00 due to
clouds.
