 Observing Specialist: B.Ketzeback
 Az Velocity Scale: 585.5, 583.9; 584.7 (was 582 changed to 585)
 Clear night with moderate seeing until 0400 when the wind shifted
 direction from the east. Seeing then exploded to greater than 4
 arcseconds.
 At 04:55 we closed when the humidity spiked. We never reopenned
 and the observers took dome cals.
 No other problems tonight.
