Observer(s): Crotts
Institution(s): Columbia

Instrument: 8K

Conditions were Photometric most of the night.
No equipment or software problems were encountered.

   End: Seeing 1.5 arcsec, Clear, Winds Calm

No problems except bad seeing at beginning of night.
They occasional failure of the slave half of the 8K was
apparently solved by tying down the fiber optic and LN2 purge
lines so that they don't pull against each other.
