The 3.5m calibration lamps were tested through the mcnode and appeared fine. The IDL Guider Monitor image update problem is been resolved. Used Remark 2.60 (the newest version), but it was not rigorously tested. Did not open due to clouds. There was some intermittant clearing, but at best heavy cirrus. The DIMM was not started because of the continual cloud cover.
