Observing Specialist: N.Ule
Night started with guest observer Mike Gladders (UC01), but clouds kept the
dome closed.
Performed linearity test with NICFPS
Performed linearity test with DIS, did not do 1080s exposures due to sunrise
and subsequent contamination of light in the dome.
Clouds, local rain, and humidity kept dome shut all night.
