Observing Summary:

Had difficulties with alligning early on in the night, 
Eve had to help me manually reset the tilt sensors 
(they were way off- which explains some of my problems from the previous night)
Now telescope is alligned well.
After we fixed that, observations went well, about an hour on DW Cnc and about 6 hours on AM CVn.
Weather was better- no clouds and tolerable humidty.
Seeing ranged from 1.0-2.0.
