Conditions were Mixed most of the night.
No equipment or software problems were encountered.

   Clouds from 22:00 until end.
   Beg: Seeing 1.6 arcsec, Cirrus, Winds Light & Variable
   Mid: Seeing 2.1 arcsec, Patchy Clouds, Winds Light & Variable
   End: Overcast, Winds Light & Variable

Observing Summary:

Off to a smashing start with a set of real nice U flats (which we
never use.)  Cirrus crept in after B flats (which we also never
 use), just in time to screw up V flats (which we always use.)

Mediocre time series data for the first several hours, gradually 
deteriorating to horrendous data, and followed shortly after by 
no data.

Been waiting for about 1.5 hours, and i think i'll wimp out and go 
to bed.
