The program tonight will be the same as Aug 4
(http://www.stsci.edu/~bond/s15m030804.plan), with the following changes:

If any of the following were successfully observed on Aug 4, they do NOT need
to be observed again tonight.  If they were not observed on Aug 4, then they
SHOULD be observed tonight.

STSI 03b-11 1	HD 107369    12 20 45.0 -32 33 26   9.5 3x90   2
STSI 03b-11 1	Omega Cen 24 13 26 26.3 -47 16 27  10.8 3x150  2

Otherwise the program is the same.  If possible, try to observe some of 
the stars at different hour angles (i.e., different UT) from August 4.
