Observing Summary:


Hello -

Tonight's program was completed in a different way..  Because of the moon
beeing too close to some Ohio targets, ob2k031 and ob2k033 were not observed.
The rest of ohio targets were observed very near the moon, but images were
not saturated, so every other Ohio target was completed.  An error in my
part was to believe that ALL targets were TOO close to the moon, so I wasted
about an hour -- I thought they were too close to la luna.

VH band observations for ob2k026 were done at a later time (I skipped it at
it's scheduled time).

I asked Rick P. for an alternative program for Ohio, he didn't have one, but
instead he gave me a list of Portugal targets that haven't been done but these
were not observed.  Instead I did yesterday's  and today's Portugal targets
with the exception of I18162-2048Y (waaay too close to the moon)
Also.  Although, above, I mention that it was clear, we did have
a small patch  of cirrus past by at around the time Portugal targets
were  first observed.

NOTE: If the list of targets for Portugal haven't been done.  They need to be
observed at a much earlier time, for `at the end of the night' is too late.

XTE:  21.56
Aql:   3.37
4u:   16.6

That is all
cheers
