Observing Summary:

During the early third of the night (21-00) the seeing was very good ~1.5 . 
Photometric observations of standard star fields and some of our target GC's.

From about 00-02 the wind picked up a bit and the seeing reduced to between 2  
and 3 .  Tended to focus more on GCs then. Turning off the A/C makes a big difference.

Conditions returned to very good from 02-05 and were again able to do
reasonable photometry.
