Observing for the reverberation campaign.

The humidity steadily increased and at about 9pm I noticed condensation
on the van. Although the  official  humidity was 81%, I closed.
I reopened after about 1h30m when humidity dropped down enough. 
The humidity was then dropping further throughout the night.
Due to the humidity interruption I couldn't observe Mrk 335.
