Observer(s): Chris Gerardy

Worked for 6 hours (first half of the night)
Conditions were Non-Photometric most of the night.
Problems were encountered, see the separate trouble report for details.

   Clouds all night.
   Beg: Seeing 1.4 J arcsec, Cirrus, Winds Light & Variable
   Mid: Seeing 1.4 J arcsec, Overcast, Winds Calm

Observing Summary:

Lots of cirrus tonight.  Thick clouds moved in shortly after
midnight.  I continued to have problems with TIFKAM's prefilter
wheel and with the IC/WC computers.  I lost about half an hour
when the IC froze again, and the WC refused to recover.
(I've sent Jerry Mason an e-mail detailing this episode)
