Instrument: MkIII + Nellie

Worked for 13 hours (all night)
Conditions were Non-Photometric most of the night.
No equipment or software problems were encountered.

   Beg: Seeing 1.5 arcsec, Cirrus, Winds Moderate
   Mid: Seeing 1.5 arcsec, Cirrus, Winds Moderate

Observing Summary:

Cirrus clouds most of the night, but OK for getting spectra
of bright stars. We observed all the brightest targets on our 
lists; data look good. Had to pause twice after midnight for 
about 30 minutes because the extinction was getting too large, 
but the sky ultimately cleared up for good after 4am.
