Observing Summary:

Night started out photometric. Some light cloud came in. Other than 
that, weather was fine. 
Some technical issues. The dome stopped moving at one point during 
the night. I went outside and turned the Open/Close switch one way 
then the other and things seemed to work from there. Also there 
was a momentary power outage in the morning that caused the 
telescope to lose tracking. I turned it on and off and tracking 
resumed.
