Continuation of an optical imaging follow-up of the Sauron sample of
early-type galaxies. Like the previous 2 nights, tonight was
essentially perfect, photometric from beginning to end, although the
seeing was again very average (typically 1.5 -1.8 ). We continued to
obtain long/deep images of our targets and completed our goals for
this observing run. The Spring portion of this project is thus
officially completed!

No technical problem to report.
