Observing Summary:

Nice night. Didn't run into the bobcat, got the hang of the spectrograph.
Guider was fine, but had a problem reminisent of last spring: the tv for the 
guider goes, from viewable but flickering to totally black. It comes back,
but I suppose it could get stuck broken, at some point.  I know Bob
hasn't been able to recreate this, but I thought I'd mention it.  (just file under
crazy. :>)
