Observing Summary:

We had a great night -- good weather, pretty good seeing, and almost no problems.
Excellent data.  Focus was generally better tonight.

When attempting an offset in the xtcs gui the telescope ran away again.  We're
positive that it was not a mistake on our part.  Luckily, this occurred when we
were checking the pointing at the start of the night, so we were able to do the
recovery without losing much dark time.  The offset was in Dec.
