Conditions were Non-Photometric most of the night.
No equipment or software problems were encountered.

   Mid: Seeing 1.2 arcsec, Clear, Winds Light & Variable

Observing Summary:

Uneventful night with decent weather and a lot of good data.
We ran into a small problem with Agung, which seems to have
hung itself. We didn't want to risk rebooting it during the
night. The problem started when we tried to use kb3, the dvd
burn utility. We ended up making backups through ftp on our
laptops.
Also, we did not refill the liquid nitrogen, as the instrument
is scheduled to be taken off.
