Observing Summary:

Conditions started out good - clear skies and relatively good seeing. Because of the snow on the roof of the dome, I was not able to lower the dropleaf, and so some of my observations were cut off a little earlier than expected. Around 4 am, clouds rolled in and at 5:15 I lost my guide star.
