Observing Summary:

What a delightful evening it was.  And a delightful middle-of-the-night
and end-of-the-night, come to think of it.  Got two long time series 
of cv's.  Sky was a little cirrus-y at first, but then clear for 
a good 10 hours with humidity below 60% all night.  Still no sign 
of the dead mice's progeny, but patience! ... 18 nights to go.

Seeing wasn't so hot.

Squash casserole could have done with some improvement too.
