Observing Summary:

There were some patches of clouds, particularly in the beginning 
of the night, but our observations were not significantly effected 
by this.  Seeing was poor, around 3-4  in this period. Conditions 
improved later into the night and were were able to achieve seeing 
of ~1.5  near the end of the night.

At one point it seemed like we needed to tweak the focus slightly, 
from 780 mils to 778 mils, but by the end of the night we had set 
back to 780 mils.
