Observing Summary:

It snowed during the day. High humidity during most of the night. 
At the beginning of the night I did not 
open because of threatening clouds. It cleared up around 4:10. I 
had just the time to observe one standard star before closing up 
again due to high humidity. Opened again at 08:50. I have had 
some issues with the panel control (error message: 
mirror not open nor closed) and jskycalc (kind of frozen, 
see trouble report). I have managed to observe three targets 
(2 high priority).
