Observing Summary:


Program mostly completed - Targets programed after 23:30 LST were not
observed save for Aql X-1.  (mb99018 also not observed). -- Very variable 
seeing and humidity for most of the first part of the night.

Although I mention that it was not a photometric night it was, however, mostly
clear throughout the night with some very small patches of clouds
passing by... very thin clouds.

Nick Suntzeff's target was observed tonight and We need to point out that in
the instructions for this target (wich come separately) suggets that
SN1999em should be observed only once every three weeks,  and this was confirmed
by Dr. Nick S. himself.

Jose Manuel has been taught some tricks by yours truly and doing very well, I might add.
(but wait until next week, he says.  he he he...)

Aql magnitude is:  R = 2.79, 2.75
		   V = 0.33		

cheers/saludos!!
