   Mid: Seeing 2.7 arcsec, Clear, Winds Calm

Observing Summary:

The dome was dripping water in the beginning of the night, 
so we had to wait an hour or two before we were able to safely
open the mirror cover.  Once we began observing, the guiding was
a little slow in declination giving us multiple images in our 
exposures.  Adjusting the guide cam dec rate to 4.5 solved this. 

Conditions tonight were great; the seeing was 1.5-2.5  for most 
of the night with clear skies.
