LBC

=========
 Summary:
=========

Very clear and good seeing tonight (0.7-1" mostly). Some LBC communication 
errors led to the loss of most of evening twilight and the first half hour. 
The rest of the night went fairly smoothly, except for a rotator glitch and 
an image that did not save properly. Observations were obtained of 
NGC4258, NGC5174, NGC6946, QSO1522, and PG1630.
