(* means a trouble report has been issued or appended to)
1st half observing specialist: Deglman
The telescope was opened at 17:00 under partly clear skies and closed at
18:45.  AOTF was mounted but not used because of cloudy conditions.  The
DIMM has a new dew shield, but will require some modifications before use.
The DIMM was not started because of the clouds.  Although the clouds
thinned out somewhat, no AOTF observations were done due to heavy cirrus.
2nd half observing specialist: Loomis
Don York was the observer for UC03.
The telescope was opened at 23:45 and closed at 00:15.  I had time to
focus the echelle, but that's all.  The telescope was closed for the
rest of the night.
