Observing Summary:

Cloudy, cleared up around 10 p.m. The CCD was extremely
unevenly exposed for  flats  - ranging from overexposed
to counts of < 20,000 across the CCD. Attempts of night
sky exposures with several minutes of exposure time 
were completely empty (count rates consistent with
bias frames). - Problems with the CCD / the shutter???
Gave up around 11:30 since we didn't know what the
problem could be.
