(* means a trouble report has been issued or appended to)
1st half observing specialist: Loomis
The telescope was opened at 17:30 MST, with some cirrus in the sky.  I
observed for PU05, with SPIcam.  No one showed up to observe for
UC07.  I made several phone calls to try to track people down.  In the
end I called the UC09 observer, Chris Mallouris.  I offered the time
to him, and he graciously accepted it.  I've charged the time I spent
calling people to UC07.
No problems to report tonight.  I did not see any sudden image motion.
2nd half observing specialist: McMillan
Second half remained clear until light clouds began to move in around
5:00.  Both the echelle and the telescope behaved well, and seeing was
considerably better for the instrument than for DIMM.
