Observing Summary:

Overall a solid night. Seeing was consistent and the clouds stayed
away! Seems that Jules has brought good observing conditions with 
him. He had also mentioned that it might not be the wind causing 
the telescope to sway so I made sure to pay extra attention when/if
it happened. It only happened a couple of times and it seemed to
be the result of the guiding. It waited for a while and then jerked
to the corrected position. This may have caused some of what I saw
last night.
