The telescope was opened at 16:45 under clear skies, then closed at 18:10. UC07 was lost due to high humidity. 2nd half observing specialist: McMillan The telescope was not opened during second half due to high humidity, occasional snow flakes, and persistent clouds. The cloud camera gathered a great deal of frost before being shut down at 2:00. * I found a bug in the newest version of the TCC software which affected the autocollimation routine when the telescope is stopped. Not a major bug, but when I encountered a few other problems I decided to revert to an older version.
