Observer(s): David Riethmiller, Desiree Cotto-Figueroa
Institution(s): Ohio University

Instrument: Echelle

Worked for 12 hours (all night)
Conditions were Non-Photometric most of the night.
No equipment or software problems were encountered.

Seeing and Weather:
   Beg: Seeing 2.16 arcsec, Clear, Winds Moderate
   Mid: Seeing 1.62 arcsec, Clear, Winds Moderate
   End: Seeing 1.35 arcsec, Clear, Winds Light & Variable

Observing Summary:

Conditions were windy all night, making for poor seeing.  During
the early part of the night, we kept checking and rechecking the 
telescope's focus, unable to obtain a PSF of less than 5.  During 
middle part, we were unable to find several targets at all
because the seeing was so bad.  The final hours of the night
improved the seeing conditions, but not by much.
