Observer(s): Kay et al.
Institution(s): Columbia

Instrument: Mk III + Nellie + 600/5800

Worked for 10 hours (all night)
Conditions were Photometric most of the night.
Problems were encountered, see the separate trouble report for details.

Seeing and Weather:
   Beg: Seeing 2 arcsec, Clear, Winds Calm
   Mid: Seeing 1 arcsec, Clear, Winds Light & Variable
   End: Seeing 1 arcsec, Clear, Winds Light & Variable

Observing Summary:

Very clear tonight, possibly photometric (we'll see at twilight).
Seeing started out ok (~ 2 ) but by midnight or so was much
better, so we worked with the 1.17  slit.  Minor issue with the
instrument rotator -- it wouldn't work.  Power cycling fixed the
problem.  We only lost a little time.
