Institution(s): U. of Oklahoma

Instrument: OSMOS, R4K

Worked for 10.5 hours (all night)
Conditions were Non-Photometric most of the night.
Problems were encountered, see the separate trouble report for details.

Seeing and Weather:
   Beg: Clear, Winds Light & Variable
   Mid: Seeing 1.4 arcsec, Cirrus, Winds Light & Variable
   End: Seeing 1.2 arcsec, Cirrus, Winds Light & Variable

Observing Summary:

I had problems focusing the guider for most of the night. Also, the
guider lost its pointing. Moving it to origin and then re-selecting 
the guide star helped both with the pointing and guider focus. Sometime
in the early morning, high wispy clouds moved in and nearly covered the
sky, making it difficult to observe. It cleared up right before twilight.
Finally, the weather screen froze late in the morning. See trouble report.
