Observing Summary:

High Cirrus all night, but could observer ed for the full night. Seeing ranged from 1.8  to 1.3 .

There was still an issue with the paddle not responding to small N-S offsets.  This made it difficult to place the objects on the slit where we wanted to.  Total time cost ~5min.

Other then that, a pretty quiet night.
