The telescope was opened at 17:05 under clear skies. Adler (UC11) had daytime use of the telescope for public viewing. Later, the altitude failed to slew properly, then the rotator hung up. PU03 was performed with DIS. A fairly productive night with no more significant problems on the 3.5m. DIMM's computer failed. OBSERVER COMMENTS Bart Pinder (PU03): 11 candidate spectra obtained.
