---+++ June 14-20, 2008 LGS observing run
---++++ Night logs and results
*6/15/08 UT* <br>
Photometric.  Completed various calibrations and testing of the LGS system.  Tested primary mirror figure sensitivity to spring scales.  Seeing 1.1" in V.  No laser projection.

*6/16/08 UT* <br>
Photometric.  Calibrated PHARO, AO, and Acq. Cam platescales.  Tested BTO.  Seeing 8" in V.  No laser projection.

*6/17/08 - 6/21/08 UT* <br>
Canceled LGS science run due to laser power, stability, and wavefront problems.
