Observing Summary:


Hello -- I need to make a correction about Yesterday's weather:
Once the night was over, a heavy mass of clouds appeared from the West
but it did not cover the mountain until well after sunrise, however
it is believed that small patches must've crossed our path at the end of the night.

Portugal's program was done in photometric weather. (yesterday's)
--------------------------------------------------------------------


Because of a crash I made an error of giving the wrong filename for IR images starting
from ir000310.0001.fits  to  0014.fits -- In the Logs they appear as CCD frames.
I fixed and renamed all images so they will be OK now.

Portugal target Im2d observed with the first I and K script only.  The other two scripts
were not used for reasons telescopes limits (too great of an airmass).

Yale target 5921B observed twice due to elongation .

Yale target X1608-52 observe twice in V band 'cause I forgot to bring down
wind screen (ups!)

S. Wachter targets were switched around because it was too windy to observe
LBQS 1429-008 at that moment.

This is all the music for today.
