Also Present: 
Guider team (remote from LS)
Problems: 

The seeing monitor down for the night so I used the RINGSS page to report seeing.  I obtained images with bad readouts in the followig images (690,719,723,724, etc).  After it occurred 4x, I stopped noting which were bad.  The telescope focus didn't change for one of the focus sequencessequence;  Alberto had to reset M2.  

Comments: 

Took data to determine the focus offset of other filters with respect to J.  The seeing seemed to be variable when attempting this.  Prelimenary dataindicate that J and H are roughly parfocal and K is J+50 units.  It also seems that the NB filters 1644 [FeII], 2124 (H_2), and 2168 (Br-gamma) are parfocal with J.  The focus values are close at the very least.  Took calibration data of Persson 9147 in all detectors with JHKs.  Took data of CD-51 9828 in 1644, 2124, and 2148 for calibration purposes.
