Borman The star measurements were done with no problem. Night l and measurements are noted on the tape and in the log book. We did ~ave some problem with these because t he night land was covered with clouds. So we were trying t o skew the spacecraft al ong and avoid clouds. I'm afraid that we may not have always missed the clouds. The same situation existed with t he night water measurem,~nts. We had very good luck on the Pola.:~is. We had good luck on the Polaris a~d good luck on the booster. We should h,ive had pretty good luck on Gemini 6. We were abl e t o t rack it. We had good luck on the sled.
