Observing Summary:

Tonight's observation consisted of observing a number of bright galaxies and a handful of nebulae. Towards the end of the night, a quasar was observed spectroscopically. Some difficulty was experienced with the movement and alignment of the dome. The pointing of the telescope and the opening of the dome would not match up after slewing to targets. Attempts were made to fix it but it still persisted as an issue periodically.
