SA: Paul
SO: Siphelo
Others: Darragh, Francois, Hitesh, Janus, Ockert

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary
----------------------------------------------------------------------

- First half of the night Darragh, Hitesh and Francois took some images of the
primary mirror with the pin-hole camera on SPIFFY. That was interesting. Since
there are not a lot of star fields around after that we had to wait for the
LMC.
