Observing Summary:

Eve observed a CV, then I took over with a transit for the 
remainder of the night. 

At one point, the  Set  button on the hand paddle was stuck down, 
causing the guider corrections to quickly move the star out of 
the box and lose it. I had to pry it back up with my fingernail.
It didn't stick again.

3 of 3 mousetraps are full. Wanna start a pool on how many we 
get? I've got my money on 7.
