Observing Summary:

Got about an hour of decent data at start of night; then it clouded 
over and started getting all loud and dramatic again.  Slept 'til 1am; 
checked - same.  Checked again at 2, then shortly before 3.  There
were stars here and there, but still considerable cloud coverage,
and my last object needed > 1-2 hours.  So I turned in.  

But tonight (2007jul21) I'm a-waitin' 'til dawn.
