Observing Summary:


Hello -

A difficult night thanks to the seeing factor -- Both Portugal targets tried but
not observed for it was impossible to find guide star, with the nasty seeing 
and all.  I've tried to observe them without guiding but it is no good.
Nothing but bananas...

Very variable seeing throughout thhe night.

Nick Suntzeff's target finished at an airmass of 3.15 and therefore at some lenght from the telescope (effort).

Raj: 4u1547's magnitude is 16.62 and the big bright star did not give me any problems.

XTE in V band: 18.4 on average

Aql : 3.55

The rest of the program completed accordingly

cheers
