Observing Specialist: deglman
Did not open on schedule due to weather.  Some of the time was spent
perfecting SPIcam focus scripts.  Opened at 00:50.  Acquired Polaris with
DIMM-2, located in the 3.5m pit.  Began seeing measurements with both
DIMM's on Polaris and a nearby fainter star with SPIcam.
The NA2 guider seemed to have elongated stars reminiscent of image motion.
gfocus was run several times and repeatedly indicated the same best focus.
The elongation persisted throughout the night.
For a while Galileo stop displaying plots on the APO weather page, though
the text was still shown.  It eventually recovered.
One instance was noticed (at 04:12) of the DIMM-1 laptop being unable to
talk to its LX200.  Self recovered after 2 minutes.
Ran seeing measurements until the NA2 guider obviously lost it's star (250
count peak, 4000 count flux) to too high of background (25000 counts).
Used SPIcam until it saturating (in 10 second exposures).  Shut down
DIMM-2 for morning closing of  3.5m.  DIMM-1 is still running (well after
sunrise).
