Worked for 5.5 hours (part of the night)
Bad weather most of the night.
No equipment or software problems were encountered.

Seeing and Weather:
   Very bad weather all night.
   Beg: Seeing 1.8 arcsec, Clear, Winds High
   Mid: Seeing 1.5 arcsec, Cirrus, Winds High
   End: Seeing N/A arcsec, Fog/Low Clouds, Winds High

Observing Summary:

No real problems with the instrument or telescope. There is,
however, a leak in the LN hose. I was still able to get a full 
fill but it does waste LN (I will write a quick trouble report for
this).n/a

As for observing: Very windy throughout the night. Shortly
after midnight clouds rolled in and the humidity shot up. I closed
up when the humidity got to 85%. About an hour later, there was 
fog everywhere on the mountain. Continued through sunrise.

All in all, not a very good night.
