Observing Summary:

Imaged fields in M31, Sextans, and Leo in V,I,R.  Evening cloudcover
made for a delayed start, but the sky soon cleared up, although there
may have been patches of cirrus.  Seeing was stable at ~1.2 arcsec 
most of the night, though steadily rose to 2 arcsec over the last two hours.

Did not experience the  slipping  problem with the telescope tonight.  
And dome encoders worked all night as well.  Thanks, Bob.
