Observing Specialist: C.Gray
Well, the weather was bad...in preparation for tomorrows clouds and wind, I'm sure.  While we opened on time, JH07 was unable to see Mercury.  MERCURY!  We, somehow, grabbed a few photons for NM09 but not much more than that for UV05.  Why can't it rain if it's going to be this cloudy??!!!
No problems tonight.
