Observing Summary:

Clouds kept us closed 'til about 10pm, and it cleared up quickly
and became a gorgeous night.  Got a time series and some UBVRI
photometry.  

This afternoon I filled the N2 tank because I'd filled it early the
night before .. then went off and forgot about it.  The entire thing
emptied.  I'm sorry.  John helped me pick the spare one up onto the
platform (or rather, I sort-of helped John) so it's filled.
