 Az Velocity Measurement during checkout
 Was 584.0
 Ave 583.517
 DID NOT change value
 Outside Air temp 14.6C Inside Air temp 16.3C
 Nancy was also having problems with the echelle slitviewer locking up on
 her when she clicked stop guiding.  She was trying to center up parts of
 venus using the ctrl+click method, while guiding, and this might have
 been what was causing the lockup.  I suggested she use the nudger widget
 instead and the lockup problem went away.
 Clouds closed us a little after 22:40, we finally re-opened aroung 03:50
 and the seeing was excellent 0.52 arc sec in Ks.
