Observer(s): Jules Halpern
Institution(s): Columbia U.

Instrument: Templeton 

Worked for 8.5 hours (most of the night)
Conditions were Non-Photometric most of the night.
No equipment or software problems were encountered.

Seeing and Weather:
   Clouds all night.
   Beg: Seeing 1.2 arcsec, Patchy Clouds, Winds Light & Variable
   Mid: Seeing 1.8 arcsec, Cirrus, Winds Light & Variable
   End: Seeing 1.0 arcsec, Cirrus, Winds Light & Variable

Observing Summary:

Thick clouds delayed opening for an hour. 
Partial clearing thereafter allowed observation
of targets of increasing difficulty.  Moon and
thin cirrus were a factor.

A mouse entered and took a quick lap around the
control room and then disappeared behind a 
refrigerator.  Gold!
