Observing Specialist:    J. Huehnerhoff
Okay seeing first half but becoming highly variable for the remainder of
the night.
At 11:35 UT Slitty crashed and had to be manually restarted.  It would not
connect remotely and the monitor on the intermediate level did not detect
a signal until the computer was reset.
