Observing Summary:

We had a good night- we were able to observe a lot of targets.  We did notice that when switching between targets, the pointing had drifted, sometimes significantly.  Later in the night, we attempted to find a target and we really far off.  We ended up using the levels in the control room to bring it back to zenith.  Even with this, we had to make corrections as we moved to each target.  This wasn't as big a problem even last night.  Other than this, we had a good evening full of science.
