Observing Summary:

Heavy cirrus at the start of the night gave way to clear
conditions later on.  We opened around 10 pm and had no
problems at all.  No evidence of clouds -- might have been
photometric.  Satellite map of the region suggests the
same.  The focus seemed to change despite the fact that
the temperature was steady all night.
