Observing Summary:

A really beautiful night, almost perfectly clear with near-calm
winds and very good seeing (mirror a bit below ambient).  The
automatic focus compensation (with the truss temp as the 
controller) worked very well.  Seeing was better than average.
One minor glitch -- the guider X-motion stage was not working
at the start of the night; recovered by cycling power on the 
MIS control box and restarting xmis2.
