Observing Summary:

Tonight began with overcast skies and rain, however, at 8:30 UT
there was a break in the clouds towards our targets and I was able
to get a few images.  The opening was only there briefly and soon 
overcastskies came back.  I parked the telescope at zenith and waited 
until around 11 UT when the skies began to clear up again.  I was 
able to gather images for about another hour until twilight was 
too bright.  There was slight variable wind during the night, 
but it had no major effect. Seeing was relatively good, hovering 
around 1.5''.
