Observing Summary:

A fine night with good seeing and accurate telescope tracking.
No moon and no clouds as far as I can tell remotely.  Lost vnc
once, and when I got it back the letter 'r' was continuously
filling the iraf xgterm.  Apparently that was the last key
I pressed in ds9 before losing vnc.  Anyway, I didn't lose any
time as the telescope happily continued observing throughout.
Saw one diagonal jump at HA +2:45 toward morning.  Zodiacal light
rising over the 2.4m dome.
