   Clouds all night.

Observing Summary:

The evening started out pretty clear, but we had to close due to high
humidity for about 2 hours before midnight. After re-opening, the wind picked 
up at a speed close to 35 MPH. We could still keep observing until morning. 

When using the  go  command in prospero, we sometimes got the following errors:
  ERROR: already acquiring data  and  warning, could not update nextfile and
 last file . 

The files would then not appear in the data directory. When using  mgo , we 
never encountered any problem.
