Observing Summary:

Tonight went very smoothly, I didn't really have any problems, and 
the highlight of the night was my heroic rescue of a poor lizard 
stuck in one of the sticky mouse traps!

The only oddity tonight was that every time the dome sent
whatever signal it needed to the computer to verify that it 
was tracking correctly, or something, I would get
an error that I was going to paste here, but I didn't copy it
down earlier since it was doing this all night, so I just figured
I'd copy it down when I was writing this, but of course, now it
not giving me the error.  Well, regardless of what the error was
it still worked, which I guess it the important part.

So, I was able to observe all the targets I had planned for the
night as well as take some spectra of a transient object that
Jose Prieto requested, so it was a good night.
