 Observing Specialist: B.Ketzeback
 Another night of evening thundershowers kept us closed until shortly before
 4am. I used some of the time to take some engineering data to test the new
 na2 baffle and late in the afternoon some additional tests were performed
 on the DIS blue problem. After opening and focusing data was collected on
 two of the objects for the gravitational lens program.
