Observing Summary:

High humidity this evening!  I opened when the humidity had dropped to 85% and stayed open until mid-night.
I aimed at targets in the clear patches of the sky.
Some of my exposures were 10 times the length of what they normally are, due to the cirrus clouds.
At mid-night the humidity was 93% and the cloud cover had increased, so I closed.
