(* means a trouble report has been issued or appended to)
First-Half Observing Specialist: Deglman
The telescope failed (all three axes) during an afternoon test slew.*
Upon examining all of the stop buttons one was found that apparently
malfunctioned.  It was partially stuck in, but not lighted, and it still
disabled the telescope.  After this was corrected, the azimuth failed
during a slew.*  The azimuth controller box was reset and then worked
fine.  Calibration images were taken for DIS.  Opened enclosure at 18:10.
Took echelle calibration data.  During taking the Echelle biases, the
"Elapsed Time" would countdown the amount set in the "Dial-A-Time" window
while the chip was reading out.*  The NA2 guider apparently worked fine
while using it for DIS.
Second-Half Observing Specialist: McMillan
Second half was cirrusy, but peaceful.  GRIM was being used in f/5
mode because that was necessary for the science, even though it caused
stellar images to be undersampled.  At f/5, the focus appeared to be
quite stable, and no problems were noticed.
The guider was used very little, but the shutter appeared to work
normally when a few images were taken.
