Observer(s): Prieto
Institution(s): OSU

Instrument: 4k

Worked for 3 hours (part of the night)
Conditions were Non-Photometric most of the night.
No equipment or software problems were encountered.

Seeing and Weather:
   Clouds all night.
   Beg: Seeing 1.4 arcsec, Patchy Clouds, Winds Moderate
   Mid: Seeing 1.8 arcsec, Patchy Clouds, Winds Moderate
   End: Patchy Clouds, Winds Moderate

Observing Summary:

I observed a planetary transit for two hours at the beginning 
of the night after starting one hour late due to bad looking 
clouds, and closed because of threatening clouds mainly
to the south west. The night was also windy, with wind gusts
up to ~30mph. I opened at ~1:30am again but couldn't
observe M33 for very long due to the patchy clouds, and 
also was very close to the moon tonight (my other targets had
already set at that time). So finally I closed one hour later 
around 2:30am, and called it a night .. not a good one because
of the weather. The guys at the 2.4m had more luck.
