Observing Summary:

The night had thin and variable clouds during the first part.
In the middle part we had slightly stronger winds, that
resulted in N-S oscillations in the telescope, visible both in
the guider camera and the acquisition camera frames.
We were pointing North at that time, while the wind was from
the West.
We observed all 7 planned science targets and 2 standard stars.
There were no problems with any equipment.
