Observing Summary:

Observed all night, except for about an hour at the end.  Had 
clouds drifting through from time to time.  I'm very pleased 
the pointing tonight.  Using the point13m program, I landed on 
pretty much every field with no trouble.  At the end of the 
night, when I tried to get flux stds and band stars, the strange
reflection I noticed back in June seemed to be back.  It washes
out the entire upper portion of the field.  I noticed some other
strange reflections, which I'll detail in the trouble report.
