Observer(s): R. Mark Wagner
Institution(s): OSU

Worked for 3 hours (part of the night)
Conditions were Non-Photometric most of the night.
Problems were encountered, see the separate trouble report for details.

Seeing and Weather:
   Clouds from 19:00 until 2:00.
   Beg: Overcast, Winds Calm
   Mid: Overcast, Winds Calm
   End: Seeing 1.2 arcsec, Patchy Clouds, Winds Calm

Observing Summary:

Conditions steadily improved to the point the mountain could open around 2 to
2:15 AM.  Integrated on science targets through about 5:00 AM.  Encountered
only one problem.  After getting the telescope focused on the slit I did not have
enough travel in the offset guider focus to bring it into focus.  The system was
able to lock on a guide star however for the most part.
