Observer(s): holly sheets
Institution(s): dartmouth college

Instrument: mark II + templeton

Worked for 9 hours (all night)
Conditions were Photometric most of the night.
Problems were encountered, see the separate trouble report for details.

Seeing and Weather:
   Beg: Clear, Winds Moderate
   Mid: Clear, Winds Moderate
   End: Clear, Winds Moderate

Observing Summary:

took spectra for the last night.  had some trouble with the 
guider bouncing around a bit east/west, but i think it was just 
the strong winds (gusts over 20mph).  also noticed at the start
of the night that the guide probe was blocking part of the guide
field.  i think this was the source of all the reflected 
moonlight all week!  lastly, when slewing north in dec, the 
relays sound a little funny, as though they're stuttering.
