SA: Lee SO: Austun Others: Zwido (taking over) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Summary ------------------------------------------------------------------------ A good start to a new semester of observing with a full Moon. The night started very early during twilight and we observed several blocks throughout the night including one P0 and several P1 and P2s.
