Observing Summary:

Nice weather tonight. We collected lots of great data on our 
galaxy targets and also some sky data for future subtraction. 
Telescope and instrument mostly performed well, though we did 
have a slight issue around 9 PM where the dome did not track 
properly with the telescope. Slewing to zenith, homing the dome, 
and turning it off and on again did the trick. Also, the west 
mirror cover did not open with the others at the start of the 
night though slewing east fixed this. Both issues were easily 
fixable and didn't eat up too much observing time.
