Observing Summary:

Telescope problems at start of night.  Kept getting psf extended
in a given direction, typically 1 x2-3 . Couldn't keep guiding 
more than ~10 minutes before losing guide star, likely due to 
the 25-30 mph wind gusts.  Occasionally saw double stars in
the e-w direction.  Gave up after trying to repeatedly align the 
slit masks only to lose the guide star and have the telescope 
shift a few arcseconds away.
