Observing Summary:

We were able to observe four targets, three galaxies (two definite AGNs, one 
probably a very weak AGN) and one mysterious object requested by John 
Thorstensen which has a high proper motion. We were able to get adequate 
exposure times and calibration images throughout the night as well.

The only issues we ran into were that the slit/aperture wheel paper provided on 
the screen was incorrect compared to the slits actually in the instrument, 
although w picked up on this well before the night began. We only ended up 
using the 1.2  inner slit (position 4), but it'd be nice to have the correct 
sheet taped to the monitor. We also ran into the small-guider-probe-motions 
issue late in the evening, and so I had to manually put the star on the slit, 
because I'm not sure exactly how to use the x and y positioning in the 
MaximDL camera control window to rectify this issue.
